Golden Autumn
I hope I can be the autumn leaf, who looked at the sky and lived. And when it was time to leave, gracefully it knew life was a gift. Picture slideshow created with Smilebox

"Around thirty years of age"
I came across this lovely Korean song written by a young singer/writer many years ago. I do not know why it was titled "Around thirty....." Here are two versions of the song. First is by Roy Kim with english lyrics. Second is by Jo Seung-woo

Yesterday, when I was young....
"Inside every older person is a younger person - wondering what the hell happened." Its not too late. No regrets. Lets make the most of whatever time we have. For me its seeing a bit more of this world "Travel makes one modest. You see what a small place you occupy in the world. I have not been everywhere but its on my bucket list."
Chinese Fan Dance
Many years ago I joined a Fan dance group in Vancouver. The instructor taught mostly in Chinese and it took a while to even learn the first few steps. However the group was very friendly and all took turns helping me learn the dance. When I moved to Maple Ridge I found a fan dance group at the Leisure centre. It was a small group of 6 to 8 participants. Again the instructor taught mostly in Chinese. I had to rely on youtube videos to re-learn the steps. Unfortunately the group grew even smaller and it was discontinued. Here are some pictures taken at the Rupert Community Centre in Vancovuer. This picture was taken at Connoly Lodge, Riverview hospital grounds. Our Healthy Lifestyle group topic for the day was Fitness and exercise. The patients had fun trying to open and close the Kung Fu Fan.

2013 was the year that the kids got involved with gardening. Seven years later they still help in the garden. Free photo slideshow personalized with Smilebox
