Every holiday season, I find her napping under the tree. So much has been tipsy-turvy this year, but not all our traditions are lost. This was a furry reminder.

Sending ❤️ to all my American friends and family today. These words are from a politician whose views I didn’t always agree with, but his final message still acts like ripples through a pond. No matter what happens today and the weeks to come, your northern neighbour is thinking of you.

This year has been a study in contrasts. Early snow on late flowers. More free time than ever before, but can’t go anywhere or do a lot of things. It is quiet and calm at home and yet so noisy and chaotic in the world.
.
This has been a rough week mental health wise. It has finally sunk in that our little family will be dealing with the fallout of the pandemic for years to come. It’s made me feel really... trapped.
.
I remember taking the boys to Disneyland and we went on the Tower of Terror ride. That’s the one you drop 60 metres in free fall - but at first it feels like you’re hanging on and might escape the plummet. That’s when my eldest turned to his Dad and said, “I don’t like this. Can we get off the ride?” Obviously we couldn’t. There was only one way out.
.
The seasons are changing and a bit abruptly for me. I was hoping for a bit more fall, but Canadian winter is doing what it does best: consuming land for nature to reset the clock.
.
I am so very tired of pandemicland. But as fat flakes fall on my flowers still in bloom, I am mindful of how there’s only one way off this ride. Winter is another blip, a bounce up and down that feels like falling, but the exit will be on the other side at some point when nature is ready.
