Oh dear - I think my makeup kit is in a similar state to your old set; until reading this I had no idea cosmetics might have an expiration sooner than ~handwavium years down the road. Eep.

More seriously, it sounds like you have been doing a lot of hard growing and coping and sorting things out this year; I'm proud of and very happy for you.

I hope that all of us have a year that is filled with more joy than pain, more health than illness, more hope than fear.

Yes, this, very much this and the rest of your lovely blessing. Well put!
