'tis The Season :)
arrived, including one that the USPS erroneously sent on a holiday across the UK (glad that one, which was classified as "missing" for several months, finally arrived!). The packages had more warm socks, sweets and treats, several other special requests that otherwise cannot be found in Ukraine, and a box of funfetti cake mix and a tub of sweet, sweet funfetti icing :) his daughter had a birthday recently and the cupcakes and special requests were most welcomed. United24, the official fundraising platform launched by President Zelenskyy, started a new fundraiser for Christmas: their goal of $1,000,000 USD is to purchase generators for schools so the children may study with light and heat (https://u24.gov.ua/bring-light-back). Happily donated, and sent the link on to

On February. 9 PapayaCare resident's family visited with 2 kids. On my request, mom of the kids gave me their names, I made and gave personalized bookmarks along with some Birthday cards. Mom profusely thanked me with a smile. In the evening, PapayaCare arranged a musical party to entertain residents and the staff. I grabbed the opportunity and gave a bunch of quote cards for them. Due to my hearing problem, I am not able to listen to music and songs. A staff member asked me to sit down on the chair. I told her my ear says not to sit down. LOL On Febr

💕 It’s In The Little Things
ittle Things…. 🫶🏽 “ In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.” ~ Khalil Gibran Two of my neighbor-friends have birthdays this month, one on Valentine’s Day ❤️. I knew one of them liked a certain wine 🍷 so I surprised with a bottle & a birthday card. On Valentine’s Day I will drop off a little heart shaped box of chocolates with a card to my other friend on the block whom I’ve known for over 40 years. Little things 💕

Kindness Week To Cultivate Kindness
say hello to people I met. Do physical Therapy exercises twice a day as an act of self kindness. While returning home from walking, by mistake I touched 4th floor along with 2nd floor.

Eternally Grateful
food, company (as I then learned she suffers from depression and has epilepsy). I've tried to be there for her as much as I could, even online while I am abroad. She has 2 relatively young good hearted children who are doing well at school and adore her. I'm now trying to find work for the eldest so he can have a little extra income while he (hopefully) continues his education. His 18 year old birthday was last week so I ordered a meal online and sent it to them to share with the family. They were so happy and grateful! They can't imagine how happy it makes ME!

Longtime Friends
ongtime friends will be coming over the end of March to help celebrate my husband’s 80th birthday. They are coming with their son (whom we’ve known since he was born) & his just turned 2 daughter. So I ordered this little toddler chair, shown in this picture, so she’ll have a place to sit & they can take it home with them. 🐶 I also have a little stuffed dog to give her. They tell me she loves stuffed animals and she hugs hers & talks to them :))) We have been friends for over 50 years. Looking forward to being together. ❤️
