Day 26: A picture of something that means a lot to me

My family. Even if Pavlo is not looking at the camera.

Day 25: A picture of something that means a lot to me

At the risk of sounding corny and flaky, I would have to say spirituality and my faith. I'm not going to go into all the reasons why, just simply say that it is.
(and I can't take credit for this awesome picture.....someone else took it at camp a few years back)

Day 24: A picture from my day

Batman!

Day 23: A picture of something I wish I could change

I wish I could change the perception that most Canadians have of the Indigenous people. It really saddens me that there is no accountability at all on our part (general society) for our part in the situation they are in.

Day 22: A picture that shows my true self

Both of these pics. I actually don't think I have a picture of myself that shows my "true self", but I had to put something, so I figured, one pic of "crazy" Mel that people close to me know, and the other "introspective" Mel that only people really close to me know.

Day 21: A picture of something I wish I was better at

I wish I was better at speaking French. I miss it, and was fairly good at it back in the day (especially after coming home from Quebec, though I acquired a Quebecois accent that took a LONG time to get rid of. Every so often when I've had a few drinks, there is a trace of it).

Day 20: A picture of the person that you've been friends with the longest

I could have put a pic of Kosta, since he trumps Kriscel by a few months, but since I've had him in a few earlier days, I thought I'd put this pic there. I met Kriscel in Quebec back in 1999, and we've remained friends, despite not seeing her since then. We connected right away with our mutual love of anything Celtic. I still remember the melody of a song she used to sing (though I have no idea the name or anything, just that it was a song in Gaelic).
