The truth is, you’ll never really know how far your kindness travels.

Something you said in passing might still be echoing in someone’s mind.

A small act that felt routine to you might have meant everything to them.

Don’t underestimate the ways you may have made a difference in someone’s life.

Bean says yes, depending on the quality of the snacks on offer.

If this isn’t the perfect metaphor for what he’s doing to the US - infrastructure, social programs, intellectual capital, international reputation- I don’t know what is.

Just booked flu/COVID vaccine appointments for self/DH on the AHS portal; the earliest time that fits with my work schedule is in 3 1/2 weeks. The shots aren’t being given at our local health unit, so we have to drive nearly an hour and pay $100 for what the rest of Canada gets for free.

I love how English settlers arrived in Alberta’s prairies and poplar forests and thought, “Y’know what? This definitely looks like the capital of England” as they hacked at poplar brush, swatted mosquitoes and scrounged buffalo chips for the fire.
