Resilience: Go After It

This season, in hard times, we have to fight for resilience. We have to fight with thankfulness, with joy, with generosity, with creativity and innovation.

After a hard week of losses, we decided to blitz the neighbourhood with candy canes. Candy-cane-bombing we called it. We are giggling from our upper window, imagining the little kids in the neighbourhood going out their door and finding our note. Our sorrow from another three losses of plans this week- no more parkour, no birthday party for Toby, no movie theatre (first time for Naomi and Fiona), left us sobbing last night.

But today is a new day.

We scattered the joy, shared the hope, dashed and danced around the neighbourhood and you know what? It helped.

Building resilience, one candy cane at a time.
