Extract from quebecblog that says: Les origines linguistiques. Le mot Β« KΓ©bec Β» est un tΓ©moignage de l'importante prΓ©sence et influence des peuples autochtones dans l'histoire du QuΓ©bec. Les Algonquins utilisaient ce terme pour dΓ©crire la rΓ©gion bien avant l'arrivΓ©e des EuropΓ©ens.

Good morning welcome to Tippetty tap tap Thursday

Have you ever watched dust swirl in a sunbeam?
How the tiniest specks suddenly shimmer like gold?
Perhaps that is real transformation
not changing what something is,
but noticing it with softer, kinder eyes
