Be Enchanted 😊

I ordered this book on the recommendation of gardengal and it was delivered this afternoon.

I thought it would be a good book to put into the Happy Bag I posted about earlier, for our neighbor-friend’s Mom. I can order another one for myself. I think this would be a good book for her to read as she undergoes her lung cancer treatments.

πŸ“• One review: “This book has nuggets of gold, great wisdom that will serve in the practice of waking up to the sacred in all.”

Music Teachers Inspires Future Teachers

I have had the pleasure of observing a music teacher throughout the course of this school year, and she is remarkable. Between her instruction and student engagement, this teacher is amazing. One day, when I was visiting class, I asked a student if he enjoyed the program. He stated that he loved it so much that he had decided to pursue a career as a band teacher. This warmed my heart, and validated all the amazing instruction I had witnessed. I will follow up with the teacher today to share this story and commend her on her instruction and influence. We are lucky to have such positive and influential educators.

There's A Tradition Of Rubber Ducky

There's a tradition where Jeep owners leave a rubber ducky on each other's door handles to then display on their dashboard. I don't have a Jeep, but I have a lot of rubber duckies -- my graduating class in grad school got in trouble for leaving ducks all over our campus lol

I have a neighbor with a Jeep that is now all decked out in decorations for the holidays, so I left them a festive duck to add to their collection :)

Blankets And Warm Clothes For The Homeless

Years ago, a local man (vancouver BC (canada) named Gregory Ould encountered a homeless man, and approached asked him if there was something he could do to help him.

Greg was expecting the man may want something like cigarettes, but the man in need said he could use a blanket to make it through the night on the cold streets.

Greg went and got a blanket for him, and since then, Greg and his young son started an organization called Blanket BC, which collects blankets and warm clothes to be distributed to shelters that help the homeless.

An annual Drive on the Line event was held this past Friday and Saturday, with “Blanketeers” collecting the donations at select Canada Line stations (our local version of a subway) .

I have been a Blanketeer in years past, and dropped off 2 warm jackets on Friday.

A couple of days ago, I was walking in a park when a gentleman sitting on a bench called me "sir, can you help me with this report?". I stopped and asked "what report please?". He showed me a print out and asked me if I can read and explain. I looked at it and it was his health diagnosis report. I told him I am not a doctor but i can explain the contents of the report.

Today, I Worked On Self Care

Today, I worked on caring for myself. I bought some yarn in October to make a short sleeve jumper. The pattern implied I would need more yarn than I actually needed. I've made a scarf to give to Richard for Christmas and today I finished this one. The great thing is there are still about four balls of yarn left so I will use them to make something either as a Christmas present or a donation towards a fund-raiser.

The picture shows one end of the scarf (both ends are matching).
