An Act of Kindness

This weekend I was out with my younger daughter getting a few things for her to make Halloween crafts. I was at the check out and tried to pay with my credit card but they didn't accept credit so I went for my debit card. I couldn't find it anywhere... I realized I had put it in my jacket pocket and left it there at home. A very nice lady behind me insisted on paying for our items even though they were completely frivolous (well not to Teagan I guess). I felt so embarrassed, but she insisted. She told me to just pass it on, and I will. It was so nice I felt great for the rest of the day. It was a nice reminder of what it's like being on the receiving end of an act of kindness, and how good it can make someone feel. It's a great feeling to be part of a team that is doing stuff like this everyday.

This week

I feel like I don't have much to say this week. I am really enjoying dragon dance practices and the camaraderie we all have there. I think it would be amazing to do the double dragon dance for Chinese New Year, the more we challenge ourselves the better it is when we pull it off.
We got a new dog last week, some of you have seen him at the kwoon already. His name is Dexter and he's a SCARS dog, one of SRKF Benevolent Foundation charities. He was surrendered at a spay and neuter task force in Hobbema. There are a lot of SCARS dogs that come through the Westlock Vet clinic and it's so great to see these scared, malnourished and sometimes beaten and even shot animals come back through when they have gotten good medical care and a few weeks of good meals. Hey, you all had a part in that, very cool, and they may never know your faces but you changed a life. See  you all on the mats.
