😔Covid-19 fears cut cancer patient's 30 year GP career short😔
An incredible, heartwarming and heartbreaking, but totally honest life story from the wonderful GP, Liz Fitzmaurice posted on Stuff.

I love the moving and sometimes relatable feelings, thoughts and the real life emotions; but above all, the no-nonsense approach to today's health climate crisis - Covid.
Her calm, but well reasoned approach, is the exact calmness we all seem to have lost in this wild ocean of anger and despair currently happening in this mad Covid world, that we all really need right now. Thank you Liz🥰
My favourite quote from Liz, that is in this article reads:
"When people write of “personal freedom,” it seems to read like they are actually speaking of “personal privilege”.
She is fully in support of vaccine mandates to protect vulnerable people like her.
I wish her well and nothing but good, kind caring people to surround her during her time of need as well as happiness for the rest of her life, all that she deserves (and then some more).
💗💗BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU SO MUCH LIZ FITZMAURICE💗💗

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
The gift of giving …?
The author of “The Gift of the Magi” is O. Henry, a pseudonym for William Sydney Porter.
“The Gift of the Magi” is a poignant short story about a young couple, Jim and Della, who are deeply in love but financially struggling. With Christmas approaching and limited money, each decides to sacrifice their most prized possession to buy a meaningful gift for the other. Della sells her beautiful long hair to buy a platinum chain for Jim’s watch, while Jim sells his grandfather’s watch to buy a set of combs for Della’s hair. In the end, their love and sacrifice underscore the true spirit of giving during the holiday season.

I would say the story underscores the stupidity of Xmas gifts … after all, it is not YOUR birthday, so how about donating something to good causes and otherwise enjoying being together?
