I didn't feel like smiling tonight...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

But I still hope it's acceptable!

[seaker]

1. Of course you are acceptable...

I love you Miss CaliforninaPeggy.:hug:
Anything you want to talk about?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear seaker...

Ah, my loyal fan...

No, nothing to talk about...

Thank you, sweetie...:hug:

[seaker]

You are brave to share.

3. What is pissing you off ?

if you don't mind .

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear UndertheOcean...

I'm not pissed off...

Just not feeling really good tonight...

A less than stellar day is all...

I know you're used to seeing me smile, but I thought it was time to show a different face here...

Hi Peggy,
Hang in there, we all have our days where smiling is not our thing. I hope it is not something too serious that is causing it. Perhaps you can use it as some inspiration for some poetry, just a thought.

Peace

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear hibbing...

Yes, it does...

No, nothing serious, and thank you for asking...

Actually, I have felt pretty blah about writing any poetry today.

I need to be pretty passionate to do that with any degree of skill at all...

Peace to you too, sweetie....

7. Dear CaliforniaPeggy, it's nice to see you.

We can't smile all the time. :hug: :loveya:
Where are you in that picture?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. My dear elshiva...

It's nice to be seen, too, sweetie...

I don't smile all the time, and I thought I should show that side of me.

I'm in my study...

:hug:

11. You have some lovely pictures there.

Are you still plotting world domination? Can't wait until you are our fearless leader. :bounce: :bounce: :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. Thanks!

Nah, no longer plotting world domination, lol...

I can hardly take care of myself!

:P

12. My dear EastTennesseeDem...

Sounds like a plan...

Thanks sweetie...

15. My dear Prisoner_Number_Six...

Ah, I know...

But am I frowning?

I thought I had a little smile, but maybe not...

Sometimes I just want to be just how I truly am...

And this is who I am, tonight.

[bluesbassman]

16. Ah, the pensive look.

Very becoming. Smiles another day.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear bluesbassman...

Yes, exactly...

Thank you...

And yes, there will be smiles another day... :hug:

18. That's my CalPeg ...

She stares into the camera, unflinching. Because this is who she is, and she can handle both ends of the lens with equal aplomb.

She doesn't look away. She doesn't hide her true self behind feigned smiles meant to be captured by the shutter for someone else's amusement.

She knows who she is, and what she wants, and what she feels. And she isn't afraid to show it.

She is my friend, my confidant.

This photo is evidence of why.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear Nance ...

Wow, sweetie...

Thank you.

I cannot truly express what is in my heart right now...

:hug:
