To commemorate the month of February, the

BRAIN TEASERS FOR
lowing little story! FEBRUARY 2019
A Valentine for Serena A visual illusion to combine fun and learning
about the visual system
On February 14, I was student-teaching a class of We know you know there is a trick since these
first graders in a school. The children were nervous are illusions… but don’t try to be smarter than

only a few envelopes huddled low in their chairs.
When all the cards had been distributed, the
teacher left and put me in charge of the class. As
the children opened their valentines, I noticed
Serena sitting quietly at her desk. Shy and awk-
ward, she came to school sporadically and didn’t
seem to have any friends among her classmates. I
couldn’t see her face as she looked down at the few
valentines spread out in front of her, but I could see
the tears dropping onto her desk.
Crestfallen, I thought of how hurt she must be, and
I knelt beside her, ‘Look!’ she said. ‘Look at all my
valentines! I never thought I would get even one.
And look – I got six!’
Not many of us know how to receive love so deeply
that we can do nothing more than cry and shake
our heads in silent wonder.

Mylaine Bélec Executive Director
Dear residents,
It is with great enthusiasm that I announce today Carolyne Giroux’s promo-
tion to director of care of Royal Garden retirement home. Since January 8th,
Carolyne has been executing all the functions of her new title with lots of
success. She is very happy in her new role.
As for me, I am not going very far. I will simply take on more administrative
duties for the residence as well as concentrating my time more on human
resources. I remain at your disposition to discuss any subject you would
like, including your health, and invite you to continue to come see me.
I also take this opportunity to let you know that I am taking vacation time in
February. I will be going away to Walt Disney World with my little family from
February 4th to 15th. I am leaving you in very competent hands and will come
back to you well rested and younger than ever after having experienced all
the magic of Disney. Pictures to fallow!

June 2012. Family means everything to me, I have 1 beau-

meet her, let me know, she’s big but she is the sweetest!
My big baby! And very exciting news; my boyfriend Alex

A Prayer
Dearest Heavenly Father,
I want to thank you for the precious gift of love you have given
to the world and to me. Thank you for blessing me every day
with this love and the power and strength that I get from you
every single day. Without your love for me I can't be....I can't
function....I can't even breathe...because I NEED your love to
sustain me. It's like food and medicine for my soul Lord.
Please continue to let me feel your comforting love in my life
and Lord I give myself over to you to perfect in me this gift of
love...that I may be able to express it and share it with others.
Lord...I have not always been good at this...forgive me.
Lord...some people are harder to love than others...but I want
to be like your Son Jesus...so please continue the work you are
doing in my heart so my heart will be like yours. In Jesus name
I pray.
