Children's Museum


We went for the first time to the children's museum in Winnipeg. The kids had so much fun. This is a picture of us leaving. We got a goody bag and some balloons.

Pay it Forward

I find it interesting in this day and age, that there are actual movements in the Canada and the US about “Pay it forward”. I was doing web searches for a newspaper and I came across this http://www.chieftain.com/life/local/here-are-some-easy-ways-to-pay-it-forward/article_5932b212-04eb-11e1-b0aa-001cc4c002e0.html

Where basically they say donate blood, clean your local park and donate gently used clothing. Really?? We have to have a movement for this? Isn’t this just common sense?

To me paying it forward is paying someone’s Timmie’s bill for them, or small acts of kindness. Not simple common courtesies like holding a door for someone behind you, moving over on the sidewalk so you don’t take up the whole sidewalk, and saying thank-you when receiving Halloween candy.

Has our society really become that self involved? That common courtesies have to have a “movement”?
