Expectations of the Season

The alarm jolted into my brain and I awoke to the dark of winter during a snow storm. Somehow 0605 seems easier when the sun is blazing in and the birds are chirping. But there you have it. We can’t always pick and choose.

Addictive with no warning label

Final …

Today is the conclusion of the  kindness advent calendar. A successful year of spreading kindness and bringing joy to others (and hence myself). A special thanks, once again, to my friend Janice for the nudge.

Today’s advent activity started early this am, although not on purpose.

Motley Crew

They are a motley trio, waiting for their advent day to shine. Their characters though are studded with bittersweet memories.

Later today I will resume our gratitude and kindness but for today there is a rant coming on. This time, unlike The Rant! (which was just a frustrated reveal of working in a public health care system and making due), it’s a shove at the government, the premier and many citizens of our province that are making choices that impact us all.
