Good morning and welcome to Fish For Tea Friday
Life doesn’t pause for anyone, it keeps moving, with or without us.
It’s far too short to be spent on things that don’t truly matter.
Focus on what brings you genuine joy,

You don’t have to rush into the new year.
Carry forward what you’ve learned, release what you’ve outgrown,
Step into tomorrow at your own pace.

Hold your boundaries with confidence.
You don’t need to revisit the people, habits, or beliefs that caused you harm.
Mental health isn’t a race.
The pain didn’t arrive overnight, and healing takes time too.

Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light- if you can’t find the switch, it’s okay let me guide you

Welcome back to Canada, President Zelenskyy.
Today in Halifax, we committed critical new support to help Ukraine end Russia’s war of aggression, and to recover and rebuild. When peace comes — and it will come — Canada will be there for the Ukrainian people. Slava Ukraini. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

No one gets it right all the time.
We all stumble
What matters most is giving ourselves the grace to stand back up, learn the lesson, and keep going.

Happy Boxing Day
Boxes remind us that simple things can bring comfort
A warm spot, a quiet pause, a moment to belong
Boxes provide comfort, structure, and emotional support.
This should be recognised more formally
