🏡 Things that felt good today on our block….
💫 I heard the sanitation truck outside our door this morning (Monday is one of our two collection days)…..I went out & saw the fellow a few doors down & called out to him with a thank you & happy holidays…he looked up, smiled, waved and wished me the same. He always handles the trash cans with care & takes the time to go the extra steps to return the cans off the walking path. Some guys toss the cans down haphazardly on the path where people walk…this guy never does that. He’s on our Christmas gratuity list 👌🏻
💫 I was out on our front porch when the mailman was making his rounds on our block…I could hear his laughter as he was getting closer to our house(he was on his cell phone)..his laughter was infectious & was nice to hear. When he handed me our mail I told him I love to hear people laugh & told him to keep laughing…we shared a big smile. I asked him if I could give him a peace dove & told him about Mindy’s mission. He was happy to receive. 🕊

Sai Baba's Birthday and Thanksgiving Celebrations
November 23 is Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Birthday. This year it also was Thanksgiving Day.
The day started with a heartfelt prayer, “May everyone, in the whole world, be happy.”
Sent inspiring message to a friend. I got reply: Lovely message. Need to daily remember this and try and live accordingly.
I used to offer Date-nut sweets to Sai Devotees at Flushing, New York Sai Center on Sai Baba's Birthday. So, I visited author - friend Ramesh Tanna. Gave, date-nut sweets, a bag of spicy home-made snacks, fruits and books as if offering to Sai Baba.
Gave personalized bookmarks for his helpers.
Donated for a sewing machine.
Made some donations during the day as offering to Sai Baba.
At the bank, gave handkerchiefs made by Umang-Utthan.
Gave milk and Biscuits to kids.
Ramesh Tanna fixed an appointment for me to visit Academy of Yoga and Balance Therapy. I am grateful to him.
I celebrated Thanksgiving by thanking many people during the day. Before going to sleep, I thanked, Sai Baba and remembering and thanking family and friends who have helped me in my life.
I am grateful to Sri Sathya Sai Baba for all the opportunities sending my way and His help and guidance.to manifest them.

Years ago, a local man (vancouver BC (canada) named Gregory Ould encountered a homeless man, and approached asked him if there was something he could do to help him.
Greg was expecting the man may want something like cigarettes, but the man in need said he could use a blanket to make it through the night on the cold streets.
Greg went and got a blanket for him, and since then, Greg and his young son started an organization called Blanket BC, which collects blankets and warm clothes to be distributed to shelters that help the homeless.
An annual Drive on the Line event was held this past Friday and Saturday, with “Blanketeers” collecting the donations at select Canada Line stations (our local version of a subway) .
I have been a Blanketeer in years past, and dropped off 2 warm jackets on Friday.
