I am getting on into my senior years and my family believes it is time I had some personal security protection. It all started because a neighbor who lives next door had his home broken into. He walked in as the thieves were leaving. They attacked him on their way out. He got a few bumps and bruises in ordeal. He is doing ok now. But because of this, my family suggested getting some pepper spray.

I guess we just never took the time to think how unsafe our lives are. We seem to take for granted that life is so precious and there are people who are willing to harm another human being, no matter the costs. Because we live in such an unsafe world, some sort of self defense device is a necessity of life.

I did not know that defensive spray came in so many different shapes and sizes. Some look like lipstick, and others like hand weights walkers use to intensify their workout. There is one that looks just like a ball point pen! Can you believe it, they look just like writing pens!

My mother always taught me to help others in need. That is something she did until the day she died. She was always ready with a helping hand and an open heart. She felt it was her privilege to help others. She told me never to fail to give help to others. This shows love and helps to spread hope.

I found a model which looked like hand weights! Can you believe it? You can take them to the gym, use it to work out, and take them with you as your secret weapon. Now, how neat it would be to have something like that! My quilting group would not think it so.

I want a good measure of self-defense. Even though the prices seemed reasonable enough, why spend money if it is not going to work for me at all? This amount of spray seems to be able to do the job. Even if the perpetrator is a large person, using the pepper spray should stop them from harming me. Besides, I do not want to kill them. I just want to stop them.

For women who need fashion coordinates, there is pepper spray for you, too. I have seen the pepper spray in red, green, blue, pink (yes ladies, pink), and silver. Such a variety that it should be easy for you to find something you like. They will fit in your purse, hand or even in your pocket.

This would make a great gift for anyone you care about. It will give them a sense of security and might even save their life. How could anyone not appreciate your thoughtfullness upon receiving such a fantastic gift? Is it not better to have pepper spray and not need it, than to not have it and then need it?
