Saturdays and Kindness

I had adjusted my work schedule while I was in school so I had been working Saturdays to have the weekday off I needed to get reading and assignments completed.  It worked really well as no one is in the office on the weekends other than occasionally our cleaning lady and I was able to get things done without being bothered by anything.  I had been calling into the meetings but honestly it was really hard to hear most people and as I was multitasking, I feel like I was missing a lot.  I'm going to be reversing my schedule back to weekends off while I'm not attending classes so I can attend meetings and maybe take in some of these seminars that are being offered.  It's so much better seeing everyone face to face.

After Saturdays meeting Josh called me on my way home to tell me our bearded dragon, Dexter, was acting weird and was really cold.  I knew he was on his last legs as his behaviour was the same as when his sister died the year before.  Sure enough, he passed away later that night.  We took him to a pet cremation place called Atim Creek Pet Crematory.  I know it may seem to people as being a little ridiculous to have a reptile cremated but I'm a huge pet lover regardless of species and felt better having him cremated and spread on the properties garden than having him disposed otherwise.  Anyway, Dave, the gentlemen that's the owner of the company was amazingly kind and I really liked him right away.  We chatted for about an hour.  He asked me if I knew what a RAK was and I smiled and said yes.  I proceeded to tell him about that part of our kung fu training and he told me that I am not to pay him, but to be kind to someone else when the time comes.  It was pretty cool to be on a receiving end of a random act of kindness and it made me want to continue doing more for other people.

See you at the kwoon!
