Dusting Off Gratitude
Gratitude used to be the kind of thing your grandmother kept in the china cabinet, right beside the fancy plates that only came out when company visited. These days it feels like that same cabinet is gathering dust while everyone argues about who deserves the last piece of pie. Gratitude has become the rotary phone of emotions, charming in theory, but most folks figure they can live without it.

Ever feel like gratitude belongs in a museum beside rotary phones and cassette tapes? What if it’s actually the one thing keeping us sane in an entitled world. #Gratitude #LifeLessons

Some say gratitude is old-fashioned. Funny how the “old-fashioned” things are often the ones holding us together. There’s more to it than you think. #Mindset #Gratitude

Sam Montembeault has always been an inconsistent goalie, much like Stuart Skinner. Monty has lost him mojo and teams know who he is.
The "building him up" or "showcasing him" are lame excuses. He has little value in a trade. Someone might claim him off waivers. #Habs #GoHabsGo

As memory fades, everything will be okay as long as husband and wife are on the same page.

It would be a great world if people respected:
- others’ spiritual and religious beliefs
- others’ sexuality
- others’ right to make their own decisions, within the law
- others’ opinions
- their elders
- history
- themselves.
Don’t need to agree with them to respect that.

I don’t share my thoughts to change others… I share them so that those who already think like me know that they’re not the only ones.

Some mornings the past sneaks up like a gecko with an attitude. I almost dropped my coffee, then learned something bigger than any spill. Curious? #CostaRica #Mindset
The Past, the Brew and the Battle
There are a few things you learn quickly after landing in Costa Rica. One, geckos run the place and you are just a renter. Two, if you hear a mysterious rustling behind you, it is either a lizard, a coconut or your past coming back to bite you. And three, nothing tests your character quite like trying to live in the moment while carrying a hot cup of Costa Rican coffee you would defend with your life.

Rent should NEVER be higher than what a first time mortgage would be. Not at the price of housing. Most people who rent cannot afford to buy a house.
Glad to see that finally, a government is addressing the housing situation. Patience, it's coming. #CdnPoli

A post from before the season started.
Slafkovsky is coming into his own. In spite of another slow start on the scoresheet, he's on pace for 28 goals and 60 points. If he remains healthy, he will reach the 30-goals plateau and likely over 65 points.
