Someone shared this tip for the new year. We know this past year has brought many challenges, and 2021 is starting with more. Without diminishing the seriousness of situations, my wish is for you all is to find joy, laughter, and some silliness as we focus on what we can control!

Ha! There’s an idea - saving photo quotes - maybe that will be a 2021-22 goal for me. Love this Joanne! I always get excited for a new school year because it reminds me of my “Why”! Here’s a few recents from my camera roll:

We made Remembrance Doves to explain why we remember. There are many reasons to remember. It is so important to remember and acknowledge the sacrifices of past and present members of the Canadian Forces. 🌺🕊
