Happiness

The spicy tomato fish chowder recipe I posted a few days ago was light and delicious! I recommend it. It took about 15 minutes to make.

Well, L still has not accepted her university of choice,hopefully it will be this weekend. One of her friends did not get accepted into her first choice, a Health Sciences program at a university. It's shocking because she has a 96% average. But then this other girl got accepted with an 88% average. This is a very subjective process. Yet another friend is now unsure that she wants to be a teacher after applying to a teaching program. She has the option of choosing a more general program. This is the life of a 17 or 18 year old!

Did you know that Mother's Day is celebrated on different dates around the world?
According to wikipedia

'As the US holiday was adopted by other countries and cultures, the date was changed to fit already existing celebrations honouring motherhood, like Mothering Sunday in the UK or the Orthodox celebration of Jesus in the temple in Greece. In some countries it was changed to dates that were significant to the majority religion, like the Virgin Mary day in Catholic countries, or the birthday of the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad in Islamic countries. Other countries changed it to historical dates, like Bolivia using the date of a certain battle where women participated.'

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms that celebrate on Sunday!
