Each year since returning to Canada full-time in 2007, I have counted the poppies I see people wearing from the day the poppy campaign begins until 11am on November 11th. I'd tally up the count, donate 0.10$ per poppy, and send a cheque to a local veterans organization.
It used to be a sizeable donation.
In recent years, I've noticed my poppy count decreasing. I worry sometimes that people have begun to forget the past. I worry that we will soon relive their horrors in our future.
I don't base my donation on poppy counts anymore. And I no longer wait until Remembrance day arrives to make them.
I am changing too. Hopefully, for the better.

Gratuitous comment for you.
I did over an hour today; mostly weights, and 15 minutes on the elliptical to re-align my hips, and then five minutes laying on the floor to hopefully keep the hips in place…
Go to it, babe! (but… keep your hips in, okay? it hurts when they’re out)
