Lois Hole has died. Very sad.

I’ve been paying attention to the coverage of Lois Hole’s death. Part is because she was a very nice woman – at one point her greenhouse advertised on a billboard near my home and instead of the traditional poster, it was covered in live plants. I can’t express how wonderful it was – so beautiful in the downtown to see all these plants and flowers and LIFE. I called the greenhouse to thank them for it, and she returned the call saying she was happy I had said something; they had felt they were taking a risk with it and was pleased I liked it. She said if I ever made it out to her greenhouse I should introduce myself. I never did – I don’t get out to St Albert very often.

The other thing I like about the coverage is that it is just so positive. Things like “she made me want to be a better person” even just listening to the coverage, I wish I were a better person. How do people, some people, do so much good, live such happy lives? Is it a choice? Or are they born like that? I don’t think I know anyone who is extremely positive and outgoing, so it was nice to see much about her, even if it is over her death.

That's cool.
I think it's a combination of choice and nature. But, I like to think, more choice. That gives us all hope, doesn't it?
