Love Is All Around Us

Happy Valentines Day!

Well, Valentines Day is always a mixed bag, isn't it?

How about supporting a fundraiser that is

mean-spirited and yet generous

all at the same time?

Or, as the poster says,

"Petty with a purpose"

And here is HRH's heartfelt valentine to you all --

Guess What Today Is!

I've made some wonderful internet friends

over the years through blogging!

I bet you have too!

People who share similar interests,

life experiences, outlooks, or opinions.

That's the basis for friendship in any world,

real or virtual, whether or not you

ever actually meet in person.

It's probably just as well that we don't

all live in the same city.

That would be too much awesomeness

for any one place to handle!

Black History Month -- Viola Desmond

Viola Desmond (1914 - 1965)

Canadian businesswoman, civil and women's rights activist,

arrested, convicted and fined for challenging racial segregation

in a Nova Scotia cinema in 1946 (pardoned in 2010);

in 2018, she became the first Canadian-born woman

to appear alone on a Canadian bank note (our current $10 bill),

with the Canadian Human Rights Museum on the reverse.

Good People, Good Deeds

Sunday Selections #778 -- Colour of the Month: Electric Rose

For today's Sunday Selections,

a blog hop party of photography challenges

hosted by River of Drifting Through Life --

I'm fulfilling the Colour of the Month prompt

provided by Charlotte of MotherOwl's Musings.

This month's colour is Electric Rose.

Here's what I found around my place

to fulfill the colour prompt.

1. Household Bucket and Tai Chi Fan

The household bucket is kind of self-explanatory, LOL.

My tai chi fan has a beautiful pink peony on it.

Here's the fan opened wide for a better view.

Back in the day when I was doing an extensive tai chi practice,

I used this in a "tai chi kung fu fan" routine.

2. T-shirt and Nightie

I don't usually wear a lot of pink

(too girly-girl for me), so these are

the only two clothing items I have in that colour.

I never attended or got a degree from the U of A,

but I worked there for quite a few years in a legal think tank.

I love the pink (and black) kitties on the nightie!

Its background colour is actually a very light pink too,

but it doesn't really show up in the photo.

This nightie is as old as the bloody hills

but I keep holding on to it for some reason.

Oh, who am I fooling? KITTIES!
