Since I started a duck blog, a certain someone has been finding hilarious duck-related things and sending them my way. I thought I would share a few, because laughter is so very good for you :)
Exhibit 1 : Sex With Ducks: the Music Video
Pat Robertson provides such great material for comedians.
Exhibit 2 : Raising Ducks in the Classroom
Ok, so this isn't actually funny - but just think of all the happy little kids getting to play with ducklings! (I always wanted ducklings.)
Exhibit 3 : Duck Hunters shirt
You can see this above in the photo - I look sort of sleepy, but I assure you - I'm incredibly excited about this shirt. Quack quack!
and perhaps best of all, Exhibit 4 : Guard Duck
"No one ever suspects the duck."
(Now my home is safe.)
Waxing Moon Massage Therapy officially began seven years ago, on June 1st, 2002 in the Bellingham Hardware Building in downtown Bellingham. While there have been many small projects and improvements over the years, none have involved as much change as this last one.
To all the people who have helped me transition from Bellingham to Ballard - thank you. I especially appreciate all my friends in Seattle who have come in or referred people that they know, and my patient and devoted clients in Bellingham, who have been flexible with my shifting schedule and come in for massages when I have been up there.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I'm not usually one for giving cards for holidays and birthdays, but recently I've written a few thank-you cards and letters - mainly to people who helped me get accepted to Seattle University for grad school. It has reminded me of how healing it is simply to experience gratitude, and to take the time to focus on it rather than on stressful or negative thoughts.
Writing a letter to my high school nurse (who is miraculously still working there) reminded me that my motivation for going into nursing has been growing for a long time. Writing to a particularly good chemistry instructor, and to my college advisor who has taken on the job for far longer than one could reasonably expect, and to the supervisor I have learned the most from and respected the most - reminds me of the wisdom and humor and dedication that I can tap into because these people are a part of my life.
Even simply writing a thank-you card to the neighbor who found me crying with a bloody knee on her sidewalk and soothed me with icy towels and her calm presence helps me. I find myself noticing the abundance in the world around me, the simple acts of kindness, and the beautiful things among the frustrating. Gratitude has an amazing way of picking up steam and making for more things to be grateful for.
So thank you all for your part in seven great years of Waxing Moon Massage Therapy, and many more to come!
