Always good to be reminded that in the course of a day any manner of fine - and unexpected - things can happen.

Most recently, before they left this morning my guests (I provide an AirBnB private room), told me how much they'd enjoyed being in my home (they were here for 2 nights). They invited me to stay at their home if I ever plan to visit Atlanta, Georgia. I'd love to visit Georgia. Wonderful to think I now know someone there. wink

I can imagine how uplifted that little girl made you feel, Bob. smile

Last week I happened to be Skyping with my daughter-in-law's mother (Marjorie) in Victoria (Vancouver Island). During our conversation she walked down to the ground level section of her house, which is rented out to a young widow and her two small children.

On seeing me on the iPad (which Marjorie had turned outwards so she could show me the downstairs part of the house), the 4-year-old (James) rushed over, fascinated, and began to address me. After learning my name, he kept repeating it to get it right. He then asked me all kinds of questions, prefacing each one with my name. Then he rushed off to gather up his favourite toys to bring back and show me. Then it was more questions, each prefaced by 'Donna', as if we were two adults. And each time I answered, the little guy was a captive audience. love

He was so bright and full of enthusiasm. I still chuckle when I remember him peering at me on the iPad screen, and - quite visibly - searching in his mind for the next breathless question, prefaced by 'Donna'. smile

Honour the Earth. Without it, we'd be nowhere.

Life is too important to take seriously.
