Everyday Joy YYC

Saskatoon berries make for excellent jams and tart fillings. This filling is delicious and the tarts hold well in the freezer.

Visiting K-Country is amazing. 5 million citizens visit this part of the world. We had the opportunity to go hiking at a place where we were frequent visitors when the kids were young. Troll Falls is a fairly easy hike to the first set of falls --this day we wanted to go explore the other two falls and they did not disappoint. My favorite is Marmot Falls as you can see the falls from the backside of the water falling. Grab a jar and please join me on this journey to discover what brings you  everyday joy ! Thursday

In my 💛 I know the festival of Diwali is celebrated in most communities in India and all over the world by Hindus and Sikhs. Hindus celebrate it as the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile. Similarly, Sikhs celebrate this day to mark the return of their sixth Guru, Guru Gobind Sahib Ji, from Gwailor Fort. In my 💛 I feel these festivals bring together families and friends. In my 💛  I wish I could learn how to make some of the fancy sweets.

2023 flew by in so many ways. Moving out of the pandemic has brought its own challenges. Who knew grocery prices would skyrocket, still face problems with supply and demand, and the healthcare system is worsening in how patients are treated. Specifically, waiting 2-3 weeks to get a doctor's appointment or having to wait the next day(s) to pick up medication, or waiting in line to get a blood test. In many cases, you have to have a degree, work experience and know people to get a job ---but I wonder if mainstream citizens were able to sit at the table what changes would be suggested and implemented to move society forward. What recommendations would you make? Grab a jar and please join me on this journey to discover what brings you  everyday joy ! Thursday
