With shootings happening so frequently these days, I believe the government should enact gun control regulations or confiscate firearms, allowing only those with proper gun licenses to use them.

This Christmas, I have just one wish for you:
Take a moment to really see the older people in your life.
Let them know they’re loved, valued, and never invisible.
Share a smile with an elder you don’t know.
Offer a warm holiday greeting.
Small gestures carry enormous power.
Love,
Lynda 🎄✨
