The scoop of cookies ‘n cream on my daughter’s ice cream cone just fell off and rolled into gravel.
“Well it’s Rocky Road now!” I said.
She didn’t bat an eye. Calmly picked it up, squashed it back on the cone and proceeded onwards.
I love Gen Z. Chaos all around and they just out here LIVING!

I rehung my Ukrainian flag today 🇺🇦
I checked world news, blinking back hot tears of rage, sadness.
I checked in with my parents; my dad’s in the hospital with a high probability of lung cancer.
I checked in on a friend whose kiddo had surgery.
Took my kiddo to a doctors appointment.
It’s a lot.

The loooong journey home to Halifax, NS from Cortes Island, BC began hours ago with two ferry rides in the fog across the Discovery Passage to Campbell River. Now I’m in the Comox airport starting the first of three flights. 🫠 Canada is vast and beautiful, and exhausting to cross. 🌊 ⛴️ ✈️ 🚗
