first thing I did on Thursday was put the heart wreath on the front door…

a little later, I brought down the rest of the love items and set them around the house…

that was fun;-)…

February is Heart and Stroke month and a time when I make a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in memory of my beloved and those who have been touched by heart disease…

lots to think about…

been doing a little decorating for February…

it is Heart month and I dug out the hearts from various spots around the house and put them out…

the stairway came out quite nicely;-)…

every time I go up or down the stairs, I am reminded of my beloved…he dealt with a number of heart issues over his last few years…

he had been in good health, until a virus caused serious cardiomyopathy and later he had a quadruple bypass… all of that before he was finally taken with a heart attack… his father also died from a heart attack…

this month I will be making a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in celebration of our wonderful life together…

today…

I signed a petition…

read a book – 21 Things You May Not Know About The Indian Act... one of the Appendices included the 94 recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada…

put orange sarongs on both doors (the only orange I have)… they darkened the space, so every time I walked by them I was reminded of my focus for today…

listened to “A Day to Listen”… yesterday I heard a few of them on the radio, but today took the time to hear all of them…

made donations to The Gord Downie and Chanie Wenjack Fund and Indigenous Residential School Survivors Society…

thought long and hard about what we/I must continue to do to make right relations…

although it was a new and sad way to spend Canada Day, I learned a great deal… and I will not forget…

memory stone…

I have the most amazing friends…

at Christmas I made a donation in their honour and had a memory stone produced…  last year Cyndi and Ron had two made and it was just such a lovely gesture…

a colleague at work, who is exceptionally good with words, helped me to get the wording just right… there are only a certain number of lines and a certain number of letters on each line… bit of a puzzle really…

then I sent off the money and wording and waited… I didn’t mention anything to the two groups of women because I wanted it to be a visible surprise for them…

just recently I was thinking that I hadn’t heard anything about when the stone was being laid and the very next day I received an email confirming that it had been installed at the Park by the Duck Pond…

email re stone placement...

email re stone placement…

went over and found it very easily… the last ones were quite difficult to find, lol… had a bit of a giggle because of all the stones in the area, it was the only one that had been blessed by the ducks/geese…

took some pictures and sent a note to my friends to let them know where they could see it and letting them know how important they are to me…

for my friends...

for my amazing friends…

don’t know if anyone has seen it in person yet, but many have been quite touched… as was I to be able to do this for them…
