## Resource

In this episode of Meandering Musings, Neil Peterson shares an unexpected travel story that combines two of his passions: Winston Churchill and rubber ducks. After purchasing a Churchill-themed duck in London and believing it was lost forever, Neil is touched by the kindness and humor of a hotel staff that not only returned it but sent along a new duck companion and a handwritten note. It's a reflection on how small, thoughtful gestures can leave a lasting impact. Find Meandering Musings online at meanderingmusings.net Learn more about The Edge Foundation here edgefoundation.org
