Mini Vacation

“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.”  –  Albert Camus

It’s cold out there. And for many of us in Ontario, it’s extra gloomy because of another lockdown.

Today, I choose to focus on warmer days like the one in this picture frame. 

This photo was taken the first year Jenn and I started dating. One of our favourite things to do back then was to visit farmers’ markets.

I don’t even remember what else we did on that day. Nothing big or unusual happened. And still, this particular day was special for me.  

It’s special for me because when I look at this photo, I can teleport myself back to the emotions of that very moment. I distinctly feel how much joy, love and warmth was available to me on that day. 

It’s nice to have photos of warm moments like this, especially on cold and gloomy January days. It’s almost like going on a mini vacation for a few moments. 

If you’re open to it, pull up your phone and find a photo that holds a special place in your heart. Better yet, send a few photos to family and friends and spread that warmth around.

There’s a good chance that people you know could really use a mini vacation today. 

Big love,
