I had a random encounter over the holidays - one that I wish I’d handled differently.   Shortly after Christmas, I was enjoying my daily walk along the Bronte waterfront. The trail was quiet, with very few people on the path. A brisk wind stung my cheeks as I listened to the beautiful sound of waves crashing on the shoreline. Diving ducks and swans peppered the surf. They bobbed up and down, then disappeared in a bottoms-up display, searching for underwater aquatic treats.
