A Thanksgiving Saturday dinner yielded this wonderful vignette. Having your children turn to you in clutch situations is such an honour.
Hello All
Today is the first opportunity for me to share “What’s Gone Well Today”
I was delighted to receive a letter and photo to let me know that most things are going well today and every day for Richie. Richie is a BC Autism Support Dog. He is now living and supporting a young child with Autism. While Richie was succeeding with intensive training, it was my great honour and good fortune to provide a boarding home for Richie. When he was not at “school” evenings and weekends, he lived in our home and went everywhere that I went. Richie loved everyone that he met while he was working….or enjoying being a Dog. Now he works with his young person and I am absolutely confident that Richie provides an opportunity each and every day for something to go well.
Nothing beats being lazy on a Monday morning.
A couple of weeks ago I walking along a sea wall on the Sechelt coast. Many fishers wearing chest waders were casting for salmon. Suddenly one fisher got a strike and began moving quite rapidly along the shore playing out some line in an attempt to hook his catch. Neighbouring fishers reeled in and stepped back to give him room.
Then suddenly a gull flying low became entangled in the line and as it flapped about became severely bound. Two of the adjacent fishers quickly waded out as gull called out. One man grabbed the gull by the chest and immediately the gull stopped squawking and stilled its wings. The second man deftly unwrapped the line from the gull. Whereupon the gull was dropped into the water. It seemed a bit dazed and simply floated there for a minute or two. Then it calmly swam to the shore, walked about a bit coming with a couple of metres of me and finally took flight. Humans and a gull – human/bird empathy. What an enlightening event. (In the end the fisher did save his catch.)
