It is so beautiful this morning to sit at my desk up here on the second floor and look out the window to see the mountains against a beautiful blue sky. Yesterday it was raining all day so when the sky is blue and the mountains have a fresh dusting of snow on the top it is a beautiful sight. I am so lucky to have this view. The trumpeter swans are also back now for the winter, they are white and often talk to you when they fly over. My view from here is picture perfect.
I had a great day yesterday. Our choir in the morning was visited by the Afrigrand Caravan. We got to share a few songs with them and then last night we sang at the evening event to support the Stephen Lewis Foundation. It was great to hear there are 240 grandmother groups across Canada commited to raising funds and awareness to support the grandmothers in Africa through this foundation. The Caravan started in St John's Newfoundland and ends today in Victoria. I am so glad I was a small part of this event and journey. They shared with us a song and then spoke of family, love, hope, education, dreams, changing roles, caring for others, sharing whatever they have, and being thankful. I was amazed at how someone could cope with so many hardships and still have a positive and loving view of life. It was shown in the picture perfect smile on their face.
