Good Morning and Welcome to Thursday the 5th day of February, 2015.
Not sure where this great morning evaporated to but it is almost time to leave as I type these words.
Just wanted to share an experience with you:
Last night I met two different women on my bus ride home.
One on the first leg of the trip …. an older woman.
Face filled with beautiful lines and you could just tell she had a good heart.
She shared stories and I as well.
We found in our 20 minute trip together that we both clean up our neighbourhoods for Capital City Clean-Up.
I so enjoyed our conversation.
The next woman got on later after the other woman had departed.
She had her son with her in a stroller.
I found out during our conversation that her family had come to Canada from Iraq about one and one half years ago.
We spoke of many things but I was interested to hear that learning the English language was the hard part because it is filled with adverbs, adjectives and the like.
She said words that sound the same but mean something different.
This was so interesting to hear coming from a woman who was highly educated in her country; a teacher.
I so enjoyed our conversation ….
I must run to catch my ride (before they leave the house …. they won’t leave without me.).
What a glorious ride home.
I am so blessed to met some incredible people and listen to their stories.
The little boy sat in the stroller meticulously eating MacDonald’s french fries with ketchup and with the other hand some ice cream.
His mother explained he does not like the meat and bun and just throws it.
Okay time to go.
Special Hello to: all those people who leave their countries for new beginnings elsewhere.
Always, Carol and Alvin
