Thunder Bay – WEATHER – It is Sunday, May 16, 2021, there is a lot of variation in the weather. There is snow in the Far North, and a very spring-like day in the south.
As we continue in the stay-at-home order in Ontario, there is visible frustration out there. Low numbers across our region have brought calls for opening up more. That makes some sense except that unless we were to close down the region travel wise, and not allow anyone in, all we could be doing is prepping for a fourth wave as the virus mutates.
I will share an idea with you. Take advantage of the stay-at-home order. Turn off the television, the Xbox, the Playstation, and simply sit down with your family and talk, and plan.
What are your family’s dreams and goals? How can you achieve them together?
Take the time to go for a walk, explore the nature that surrounds us. Use this time to do a personal re-set. Are you smoking too much? Drinking more than you should? Hitting the bong like Cheech and Chong? Is that how you want to be?
Change is the option right now. Set your personal compass to a new direction. You can do this, “You’re Beautiful”.
