It's the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year! I like when the days start to get longer.
Here's a sweet (cheesy?) video about paying it forward. Anyway, it was trending yesterday.
It's a lovely time of year, Christmas music playing on the radio. I think I'm receiving less cards than last year but I do get the odd newsletter or email wishing us Happy Holidays. Indeed, a good friend came by with cookies and chocolates yesterday. It was cold and sunny but it may be a green Christmas this year.Here's a sweet (cheesy?) video about paying it forward. Anyway, it was trending yesterday.
I got my son K a CAA gift membership (Canadian Automobile Association) for my peace of mind, as he is a new driver. It provides emergency roadside assistance, etc.
Here are some interesting news articles. They are making such strides in the fight against cancer. I marvel that they are treating it like a virus with various ground-breaking vaccines that teach our immune systems to fight it. I made my kids get the HPV vaccine (Gardasil) as soon as it became available. For girls it helps guard against cervical cancer and other types of cancers for boys.

It's always a treat to know the days will start getting longer after today.
Happy winter solstice!
The driver's club membership is a great gift idea : )
How nice of your friend to come by! And the CAA card is a blessing for your son. I'd rather have a green Xmas than a white one. Wish it would stop raining here in Hawaii, though. The ground is soaked.
Grest inventions, those people that work on them are doing a great job for humanity! Valerie
The Auto Association is the perfect gift for any driver but especially a new driver. We have it here too and what a relief it is to know it's in the wallet on the rare occasion it's needed.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas.
Cheers, jj
Awesome Share!
Christine a Canadian friend of mine posted this video on my Facebook wall yesterday, because she knows I love the pay it forward concept. :-)
Glad your days will be starting to get longer but it means mine will be shortening :-(

It is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to protecting ourselves from diseases.
All the drivers in my home have roadside assistance with AAA too.
I am all for the vaccines. I got the shingles vaccine as soon as I became eligible when I turned 60.
