Transferable Skills ~ 2

For every job we do ~
employment that pays for our lives 
activity we participate in ~
there are skills that we learn.

Skills found in 
Policy and Procedure manuals
How-to manuals
Cook Books

And then there is just experience:
Packing pears and apples is not unlike
Packing dishes and books
Empty cardboard boxes of any kind
often need the bottoms shored up.
The challenge?
Fix the bottom of the box so fruit would not fall through.

The memory of those times is wonderful and fresh and fun
Laughter and chatter
finding the biggest, the most perfect, or the oddest apple or pear
Talking about recipes and sharing stories of canning successes or disasters.
Talking with people from all across Canada.
Sending pears and apples to homes in trucks, cars and in planes
And so I’ve asked my friends to ‘help’ with my move….
Thanks Wendy and Allen, Judy, Jacquie, Brigitte, and all the others!!

“In wisdom gathered over time I have found 
that every experience is a form of exploration.”
~ Ansel Adams
