My BIL has opted to have spinal surgery in the US because the doctor who's doing has persuaded him that the wait list here in BC is 1 - 2 years, and he can have it done there in 2 to 6 weeks. For a lot of money, of course. Are the wait lists really that long? Wow.

It doesn't make you less significant - it makes you richer, wiser, and more extraordinary.
So welcome each new year with gratitude instead of fear, for the chance to expand, to evolve,
and to continue becoming the most powerful version of yourself.

Today's #birdoftheday set by @alan678.bsky.social is #BerriesandBeaks.
Taken a couple of days ago in our garden. There haven't been many blackbirds around until the last week, since when they are all travelling through, picking clean our rowan trees.

Good morning/ afternoon/ evening. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #stripes any bird that has a stripe marking. The alternative is #mono bird captures, black and white. Good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
