Hope The first Sunday of Advent. A white pillar candle, with two purple candles to the left, and one pink and one purple candle to the right. The far right purple candle, the candle of hope, is the only one lit.

If you planted hope today in a heart that felt alone, if you caused a laugh that chased some tears away, if someone’s burden was made lighter because of your kindness, then your day was well spent.

Hmmm, I found a strange piece of plastic on the floor that looks like it broke off of something, but I have no idea what. Better save it in the junk drawer until I die.

The Starfish Story Original story by Loren Eisley One day a man was walking along the beach, when he noticed a boy hurriedly picking up and gently throwing things into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked “Young man, what are you doing?” The boy replied “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” The man laughed to himself and said “Don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make any difference!” After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said, "I made a difference to that one".

Banana chocolate chip muffins. I may have made them a bit too big. Not quite 2 dozen. I don’t think anyone will mind.

#RemembranceDay #LestWeForget
The poem In Flanders Fields By Lt. Col. John McCrae of Guelph, Canada Died January 28, 1918, while on active service in France. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place: and in the sky The larks still bravely singing fly. Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead: Short days ago, We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved: and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe. To you from failing hands, we throw The torch: be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields
