The gift of hope

 

(Hands hold up a heart-shaped stone with the word Hope inscribed on it. Ocean in the background.)

As we speed towards the end of 2023, I can only say that my gift to those around me is the gift of hope.

I pray fervently for hope for a better and brighter future for our kids.
For starvation, war, and other man-made hardships to be greatly reduced.
For natural disasters to be less destructive.
Above all! For mankind to be kinder and more generous to each other.
To be more considerate to each other and to hope for a happier, healthier, and more positive world!

I'd like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas! Happy holidays! But most of all! A 2024 that will bring us lots of blessings, good things, and hopes and dreams to be fulfilled.
Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays!
Joyeux Noèl!
Feliz Navidad!
Buon Natale!
Happy Hanukkah!

Time to bake and cook with family and friends

(On top of a wooden table covered in sprinkles of white flour are cinnamon sticks, pine fronds, raspberries, star anise, eggs and cookie cutters all arranged in a circle.)

It’s one of the most wonderful times of the year and I just love humming that song sung by the late Andy Williams! A song that will be played over and over each year.  A Christmas song forever!

Ah, yes!  The smells!  The tastes!  The chatter and laughter in the kitchen!  Everyone just ready to pitch in and do their part to make those cookies, cakes, pies, and so much more!

Never mind sitting down to eat all of these yummy goodies accompanied by glasses of hot drinks: hot chocolate, cider, and more.

Then the turkey, ham, pork, duck, goose, chicken, all being cooked and baked!
Ah, yes!  Those wonderful smells intermingling with each other.

Yes!  This is the time to enjoy.
Time to bake and cook!

I'd like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas! Happy holidays! But most of all! A 2024 that will bring us lots of blessings, good things, and hopes and dreams to be fulfilled.
Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays!

Exchanging those precious gifts

 

(A stack of gifts sit in the foreground with bows and ornaments all around. There is a Christmas tree and even more gifts blurred in the background.)

For me, I truly believe that the most precious gift is the gift of giving!  Nevertheless, there are other gifts for me to reflect upon.

The gifts of peace, love, joy, happiness, best wishes, and more are all ones for me to give to others.  In addition, to share with others who are less fortunate: food, clothes, toys for the kids, and whatever I can give.

The gift of giving is definitely the most precious gift for me!  

I'd like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas! Happy holidays! But most of all! A 2024 that will bring us lots of blessings, good things, and hopes and dreams to be fulfilled.
Merry Christmas!

Time to start celebrating

 

No time like the present for me, with my cat by my side, to start celebrating the Christmas holiday season. It’s funny how our pets really enjoy listening to a musical instrument.  Chester is no different and he simply loves it whenever I or anyone else plays the piano.

Thank goodness that he never comments on my piano playing but just having him hanging out with me is so much fun.

He does not know the words to the songs that I play but that’s just okay with me.  He does not know the melodies but it does not matter to me.  I am just happy to have him with me and he seems to enjoy it all.  Even my humming does not seem to affect him.

I'd like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas! Happy holidays! But most of all! A 2024 tthat will bring us lots of blessings, good things, and hopes and dreams to be fulfilled.
Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!

Time to enjoy a cozy fire

( A view of a fire in a fireplace with a person's feet propped up on a coffee table in front of it.)

I do not think that there is any better time than this time of the year for us to enjoy and savour moments before a cozy fire.  

Too often we have the best of intentions when it comes to just relaxing before a cozy fire but how often do we really follow through with our desire?  The holidays are here and now let us take time to relax. Kick off our shoes, get into some nice comfy clothes and enjoy the fire.

With cups of hot chocolate!  Plates of yummy Christmas cookies!  Soft music playing in the background! Maybe friends and family close by or why not on our own?

Just my thoughts for today.

I'd like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas! Happy holidays! But most of all! A 2024 that will bring us lots of blessings, good things, and hopes and dreams to be fulfilled.

Enjoying the Christmas tree

 (A beautifully decorated and fully lit Christmas Tree reflects off of a polished wooden table.)

I dare say that no Christmas is ever Christmas without 2 very important things for me! First, there must be a manger with Baby Jesus, Mary, and Joseph and all of the accompanying figures. Then, my beloved Christmas tree adorned with all of the lights, ornaments, traditional figures, and yes! The star atop the tree.

Oh, how I love to just sit there and take it all in. To see the lights! To smell the fragrance of pine! To imagine myself as a child when I used to crawl under the tree and quietly inspect all of the wrapped presents. To imagine good old Santa Claus sneaking into my home and placing presents under the Christmas tree.

For me, this is what it is all about when it comes to enjoying the Christmas tree. To enjoy it today and to remember it yesterday. Most of all, to keep on enjoying it!

I'd like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas! Happy holidays! But most of all! A 2024 that will bring us lots of blessings, good things, and hopes and dreams to be fulfilled.

Some Christmas holiday delights

 

Call me a kid at heart but I would not have it any other way! Yes!  I simply love to enjoy all of those wonderful Christmas cookies, the rum cake, minced fruit pies, and cranberries.

My thoughts go back to when I was a kid and I would help Mom and Granny in the kitchen to cook and bake. The house would be filled with yummy aromas. Lots of laughter, chatter, and the radio playing Christmas songs.

These are only just a few of my holiday delights.  So many memories to recall and so many more to make.  With Mom and family and memories of Granny, Dad, and Robert.
This is the beauty of my holiday delights.

I'd like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas! Happy holidays! But most of all! A 2024t hat will bring us lots of blessings, good things, and hopes and dreams to be fulfilled.

Time to relax and enjoy

 

Ah, yes, and it is probably one of the things that I truly enjoy at this time of the year. To relax and enjoy!
To clear my mind and imagination of cobwebs and clutter!
To enjoy the sights, smells, sounds, and tastes of Christmas!
Cups of hot chocolate! Christmas cookies and cakes!  Minced fruit pies!
Skating on an outdoor rink!
Going shopping and buying gifts for friends and family!
Stuffing backpacks with goodies for a less fortunate family!
Listening to those favourite Christmas carols and songs and singing along.
Then bringing out my keyboard and playing along.
Looking forward to celebrating Christmas mass with my family!

Ah, yes!  Time to relax and enjoy! Time to just say that all of my troubles are miles away!
Must not forget to dream of Santa riding on his sleigh!

I'd like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas! Happy holidays! But most of all! A 2024 that will bring us lots of blessings, good things, and hopes and dreams to be fulfilled.

So very thankful for what I can share and give

 

I know only too well that Christmas in my homeland of Canada is one of great honour, privilege, and so much more.

I have so very much to be thankful for and my dearest and only wish is that I can give, share, and spread my good fortunes to others in other corners of the world.

To those in Ukraine!  To those in Gaza, and to so many others in Africa and other parts of the world! I have so much to give, share and spread!  

Canada is blessed with an abundance of food, water, has freedom of speech, and I so very wish that all of this could help others not to go hungry, thirsty, or without warm beds!

Yes! I am tremendously thankful!  Yes, I can only do my little part to promote peace, love, joy, good cheer, and happiness to the less fortunate.

Yes! When I attend Christmas mass on Christmas Eve, I’ll thank the Baby Jesus for all of my own personal blessings for me and my family.  I’ll think of those who are hungry when I sit down for my Christmas meal and I’ll ask the Good Lord to bless them and keep them safe!

Finally, I will not only think of the less fortunate at Christmas but all year through. As a very popular Christmas song says: “The secret of Christmas is not the things you do at Christmas time but the Christmas things you do all year through.”

I'd like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas! Happy holidays! But most of all! A 2024 that will bring us lots of blessings, good things, and hopes and dreams to be fulfilled.
Merry Christmas!Happy Holidays!

Christmas is not complete without those wreaths

 

Oh no. Those wreaths are a vital part of my Christmas. There they are, adorning my walls with their beauty. All made up of leaves, holly, berries, bows, and all kinds of other things.  All sizes but they are all round in shape.

All combinations of colours, but red, green, gold, and silver are the main colours. One hangs over our front door. Others adorn walls around the home.

Ah yes! Christmas is not complete without these wreaths.

I'd like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas! Happy holidays! But most of all! A 2024 that will bring us lots of blessings, good things, and hopes and dreams to be fulfilled.

I am starting to dream

 

It does not really matter how old I am! Each year the dreams are almost the same. From my earliest days as a child and now as an adult! Each year I dream the same dreams.

I  dream of a tall stately Christmas tree loaded with lights and ornaments. I dream of oodles of presents under the tree. I even dream of Santa and Rudolph somehow opening the door to our home and silently slipping in to leave all kinds of goodies! But most of all!  I dream of going to church with the family to celebrate Christmas Mass. To visit the manger and pay homage to BabyJesus, Mary, and Joseph! 

Then sitting in the pew with Mom, Dad, Granny, and my brothers and cousins and listening to the priest’s sermon and then to join in the singing of those Christmas carols. Then to smell the scent of the lit candles.

Ah yes! I am starting to dream!  The happiest time of the year for me! Not long now and it will all play out once more.

I'd like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas! Happy holidays! But most of all! A 2024 that will bring us lots of blessings, good things, and hopes and dreams to be fulfilled.

My Christmas holiday thoughts

 

Oh yes, and it is that time of the year when I turn to my Christmas holiday thoughts! So much to remember and new thoughts and memories to create and then to tuck safely away in my memory bank.

Yes! My memory bank is simply packed with my favourite Christmas holiday thoughts. So much to unpack but that’s okay! From my beloved Christmas tree, fully decorated with lights, gifts stuffed under the tree, and everyone just dying to know what Santa and family has brought for them.

The tree is the focal point here! Standing majestically in our living room, and then other smaller ones sitting on tables around the house. The house is filled with the fragrance of pine and Granny and Mom cooking and baking!

For me, it is all about giving, sharing, and spreading. To give to the less fortunate. To give to family and friends. To share with others and with less fortunate families. To spread joy, love, and peace! This is what my Christmas holiday thoughts are made of.

Then to remember wonderful Christmases gone by! With Granny, Mom and Dad, and my brothers and cousins when we all celebrated with each other. Cooking, baking, and shopping. Mountains of parcels to give and share. Toys to give to the less fortunate kids and then the family gathering to enjoy a sumptuous Christmas dinner.

Finally and most important: Welcoming Baby Jesus, Mary, and Joseph into our home. Thoughts of the stable with all of the figures; from animals to shepherds and the 3 wise men.

I'd like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas! Happy holidays! But most of all! A 2024 that will bring us lots of blessings, good things, and hopes and dreams to be fulfilled.

Great anticipation: Starting my SRUTT course

Just need to manage: Crunch time

 

I really do not enjoy dealing with crunch time and this usually happens whenever I am strapped for time, doing my best to fit everything in.

So, the best thing that could happen for me is to ensure that I plan everything ahead and also to ensure that I am able to accomplish my objectives.

I am constantly doing my best to avoid crunch time! I really do not enjoy getting into these types of situations! And as a vision-impaired person I really feel that it is necessary for me to take my additional challenges into account.

Thank God for Mom's eyes: When the pill fell

 

At the best of times and for anyone, whether sighted or not, it is almost always a challenge to retrieve a fallen pill. For me, and as someone with a vision impairment, it is even more difficult and especially so whenever the pill is a capsule.

Capsules do not make any sound when they fall and on this day thank God that Mom came to my rescue. Mom did not take long to find it and return it to me.

Just think of the mess that it would have made if I had stepped on it. I cannot be too careful when taking pills out of my bottles.

What a disappointment: The failed implant

 I have yet to find someone who would readily admit that they enjoy appointments at the dentist!  I fall into the category of not really enjoying my visits to my dentist despite my liking my dentist!

On this occasion, however, Dr. Cory’s attempt to place an implant in the lower left of my mouth failed.  It was not for the lack of trying, but alas!  My bone density did not allow me to have it done.

Dr. Cory was so good in describing every stage of the procedure to me and it sure helped to ease my mind, but at the end of it all I was relieved to be out of the chair!

My favourite time of the year: Those fragrant Easter lilies

Ah, yes and these sure are very fragrant and it sure does so much to enrich my Easter time experience!

As they often say, blind/vision-impaired persons probably possess a keener sense of smell at the best of times, but nevertheless for me! Those Easter lilies sure fill my heart and mind with warmth and all good feelings.

I simply love to touch them, smell them, and I just stand there next to them and appreciate them!

They bring back so many memories of unforgettable moments to me!  I smile as I interact with my precious Easter lilies!

A huge relief: Cleaning out my storage closet

 

Oh, what a relief for me!  This was something that I had been planning for a long time now and thanks to Stephie and Mom, it is finally done.  Everything is very organized.  I could not have done it without them as my sighted assistants.  It took a few hours but now all is tidy, neat, and very organized.  

At least I can find what I am looking for without too much difficulty.  One less thing to worry about.

More technology for me! The WordPress environment

Yes, and it appears that WordPress is here to stay.  For me, it is a necessary evil and I am very fortunate that I am surrounded by very supportive and knowledgeable technicians and others.  For if I were left on my own I would surely sink.

This is probably one of the necessary evils for me as a vision-impaired person:  the continuing changes to our technical world.  I can barely keep up at times but this is what it is.

Great anticipation! Getting ready for the SRUTT course

 This is going to be a very important course for me as hopefully it will help to enhance and solidify my Screen Reader User Testing and Trainer knowledge.  I have always wanted to do this as this is the point at which I started my career in the accessibility field so many years ago.

I am looking forward to meeting my classmates and to working with Nick and his team of instructors.  I am very fortunate, lucky, and privileged that I’ll be taking this course.

The Carroll Center For The Blind is a very prestigious training center in the US and I’ll be the first Canadian to be taking this course.

Frustrating and annoying: At the dentist office with Mom

 It often horrifies me how much the medical profession lacks when it comes to being able to engage and communicate in a meaningful manner with blind and vision-impaired patients.  And this is what happened a few months ago when I accompanied Mom to her dentist.

In these modern times, we still have receptionists and admin staff who either refuse or hesitate to communicate with those of us who are blind and/or vision-impaired or they simply disregard our presence.  We even have doctors and nurses who are unable to communicate with us.  In short, they look upon us as either unable to understand or to comprehend or that we are folks who need care givers and legal guardians to speak on our behalf.

What to do?  I invite you to give me your thoughts!

Covid still at work! The Red Lobster Restaurant still not crowded

Now that Covid has yielded ground, it is still easy to see that this once buzzing restaurant is still not very crowded.  Yes, staff are still very friendly and welcoming and yes!  The food is still yummy, but more expensive now.

I do not think that there is much more for the Red Lobster Restaurant to do but to keep on doing what they are doing.  For me, as a vision-impaired diner, my only beef is those inaccessible pin pads with screens that I am unable to independently navigate.

What would I do without my Metro? Metro the familiar

After all of these years, the Metro Supermarket remains such familiar grounds for Mom and me.  Metro is the fall back for me with all of its friendly staff and easy to find goods on the shelves.  The produce and meat sections are still very easy to navigate and the same for the freezer section.

I will respectfully submit that as someone with a vision impairment, it is so important for me to be able to navigate the aisles easily.  To find what I seek and to have staff who are always there to help and assist.  

For Mom as a senior it is so important that she, too, can obtain friendly help and assistance.

Hats off to Metro for remaining accessible!

A new device! Learning the Envision glasses

 Yet another new piece of technology for me to learn and this time it is the Envision glasses.

This is a new way to interact with the printed world.  I need to spend more time doing this and to become more confident with it.  Thank goodness that the headquarters in the Netherlands are so very patient and friendly.  

So, onward we go now!  Nice and slow and lots of patience!

New opportunities: Using pottery to promote?

 

Thanks to my pottery instructor, Shaun, this is exactly what I am going to do.  I will be working with Shaun to use my pottery creations to promote my Dining With Donna show.

I started producing podcasts of my Dining With Donna show in September 2022 and thanks to my good friends Victor Gouveia, Shaun, and my trusty developer Aaron, it is all coming together.  

I’ll be selling on Etsy.  I’ll be offering spice pots and matching spoons, sets of dinner, bread, and sandwich plates and salad bowls. And most exciting: Christmas ornaments!

I can’t wait to see how this all goes for me!

New possibilities: Finding a new location

It is always very interesting and exciting whenever I need to find a new location to put or place things in my condo and even more exciting whenever Mom helps me to find said new location.

This normally happens whenever we work together to reorganize our condo and on her most recent visit to Canada she and I did just that.  We reorganized, found new locations for all kinds of things, and I was just so very pleased at the outcome.

It just shows that every now and then this needs to be done if we hope to keep things organized and looking good.  A new location also means that things are easy to find!

Easy as she goes! Being careful with Mom in the snow

 

When Mom visited me in Toronto in February to May 2023, there were several times when I had to ensure that I was super careful with her when walking in the snow.  Most of all to walk slowly, take small steps and to make sure that her balance was intact at all times.

It was not as difficult as you may think, with a vision-impaired person assisting a senior with balance problems and one with hearing challenges as well.  It all comes down to coordination, communication, and lots of positivity and patience.

It’s very easy for me as my mom possesses a wonderful attitude, and is always positive and cheerful!

An improvement: Mom's new hearing aids

 I think that Mom’s new hearing aids are working, for the most part.  She is very meticulous about making sure that she wears them and that she recharges them every night.

Truth be told, I still need to do what I have been doing ever since she got her first set of hearing aids several years ago.  

I need to go close to her when speaking with or to her.  I must speak clearly and moderately.  I need to ensure that only one person speaks to her at a time when I am around her.

If I do all of these things then all will be well.  It is not always perfect but absolutely good enough.

Getting used to Mom's hearing aids

I just need to come to terms with how Mom’s hearing aides work.  They will never be perfect for her but they will help her in a much better way.

All that I, and others, need to do is this:
Face her when interacting with her.
Go close enough to her.
Let one person at a time talk to her.
Lower the volume of the TV before you talk with her.
Most of all?  Be patient!

That's just me! Sorting out my winter sweaters

 Call me fussy but I just think that as someone with a vision impairment, it is imperative for me to know the colours of my sweaters and especially so when I am unable to see the them. And this is why I sort them before winter is upon us.

I need to know what colour sweater I am wearing so that I can fully imagine how I look.  I need to put the colours in alphabetical order in my drawer so that I am organized and feel in control.

When someone tells me that they like my sweater and that the colour suits me, I need to know which sweater they are referring to and what colour suits me.

Yes, I may be fussy but that’s me.  My winter sweaters and me and this applies to all of my sweaters as a whole.

A necessary evil! Getting ready to clean the storage closet

 

My storage cupboard was cleaned several years ago; too many for me to reveal but the time had come to do another cleaning.

That is, to throw out unwanted things, rearrange things in a logical order, and use those utility cartons from the Metro Supermarket to arrange and store various things.

It took Mom, Stephie and me about 2 hours to get it all done and at the end of the day?  The storage cupboard looks much better.  More orderly, much less cluttered, and I can find what I am looking for much more easily.

Hopefully I’ll keep my storage cupboard tidy and in good order for a very long time.

Thank you my faithful kettle! The mystery of the departing kettle

My kettle and I had been together for more than 10 years so it was a bit sad to see her finally leave me. For the most part, she worked well except that at times she had difficulty when negotiating the outlet in the wall.  

Many times I blamed it on the outlet but in the final stages of her life, I sadly realized that it was a faulty connector from my beloved kettle to the outlet that was causing the problem.

I said a sad so long to her, placed her in a nice box, and took her down to the recycle room. I thanked her again and gently tapped her box before leaving.

Now I have a new kettle that looks much like my departed one and hopefully she will stay with me for a very long time.

I'm Donna J. Jodhan, your friendly award-winning sight-loss coach and accessibility advisor, wishing you a terrific day.

Nothing new! When Mom rearranged my freezer

I  know, I know!  When Mom rearranged my freezer she did it to help me out but, truth be told, this is what happened.

I had to learn where some things were placed but the good thing is that Mom knows how I like things and above all her packing skills are much better than mine.  So, at the end of the day it all worked out well.

It was just the shock of learning that she had lovingly done it and did not tell me.  That’s okay, though, because over the years Mom has rearranged other things for me and I live to tell it all!
