Woke up with a killer toothache this morning and took an easy morning for my Advil and CBD to kick in. Went for a nice walk to the grocery store to get supplies for the week. My role is Social & Culture Manager and I’ll be working on Funday initiatives, branding, and merch. One of the recent tasks my team completed was our first round of Funday supplies including notebooks, note cards, Sharpies, and stickers.

I went to the garden center at Canadian Tire and cleaned up our patio. I finally planted all of the Pothos cutting I’d been propagating over the winter. After my gardening expedition, I went for a nice long walk with Michelle It was so lovely to be outside and enjoying the sun!

This morning I woke up nice and early and went to Humber bay part to meet some friends for a cold plunge in Lake Ontario. It was the first time IRL meeting Amy Shio, aka Les Best the wonderful woman who has been a big part in inspiring me to run daily. Megan, Amy, Eric, Phil, and I ran into the water just after 7:30 am and stayed in for about 45 seconds. I reckon next time we’ll pick a spot that has less waves and rocks because it was a little scary!

I do a petty good job of sharing positive stories, sunshine, smiley faces but let me remind you, once again, what you see on the internet is never the whole story. I try to find joy in the little things, stand and face the sun, and get out fresh air to clear my head. No matter how much I try tho, I can’t help but feel sad or angry sometimes, both made more difficult if you’re tired. There’s no sense in letting a bad day ruin everything and with each new morning, we have an opportunity to find some good in the day.
