Some of my photographs of our journey around the island ... a place to connect with nature, relax and unwind, fish, hike and swim (if you're brave, as the water is cold!).

Thoughtful Thursday: Blessing in a Teacup
My new favourite vessel, and blessing in disguise.
One of a set of four Ralph Lauren teacups
discovered while out shopping.
Being wise.
Tucked away on the bottom shelf of my local friperie;
the entire set acquired for just $Three!
Life is full of surprises
when you get down on your knees
Letting the old stuff go,
there's room for something new.
I like to drink tea first thing in the morning,
before moving on to a good coffee or two.
Thank you for letting me share,
my blessing in a teacup story with you!

Socks for the homeless!
In December members of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Quebec City decorated our Christmas tree with winter socks!
A friend and her daughter, together with my son and I, delivered these socks to the Salvation Army in Old Quebec on Sunday afternoon. As we arrived, we gave a pair of socks to an old man crouched on the steps of the Salvation Army, and he gave us a big toothless grin and many words of thanks!
Socks are appreciated by the homeless, together with kind words and an acknowledgment they are there. If you see a homeless person, say Hello! It will brighten their day, even if you do not have anything to give.
A gift of new socks is a small gesture of kindness and helps protect and prevent nasty health issues and infections.
Icebreaker are my favourite socks to wear.
When giving socks, give two pairs!
Adult male cotton socks are the most requested by homeless shelters.
