We have to give something away in order to clear space for new things.
ReplyDeleteHello, what a lovely quote. I like the house on the pond. Always great to hear companies giving back. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteCanada is getting behind the refugees pretty well. Yesterday, the PM and other important politicians greeted the arrival of the first refugees at the airport in Toronto.
ReplyDeleteInspiring stories, indeed, Blogoratti! I am mortified by the anti-Syrian, anti-muslim hysteria among some Americans. When we lose our capacity to see our common humanity in the faces of these desperate people and feel their suffering, then the dark side has won.
ReplyDeleteThe pond house is lovely, but I prefer to live on the side of a hill with a solid foundation. Are you a closet architect??
Have a good one!
Lovely thoughts for the weekend. Thank you!
