Glass half full

Last year a storm hit Calgary and flooded many areas. This was tragic for many people, and there was a lot of discouragement. Calgary came together and showed support and love for those impacted. My friend Cealy and I went to help down in Bowness, and it felt great to help those around me. There were many discouraging posts on Facebook and Instagram showing pictures of the horrible flood. As Cealy and I saw this, we decided to try to add a post that was positive. There was a huge puddle outside of my house, and we decided to go puddle jumping. We got floaties, goggles, and beach balls to go and play in the water. It was absolutely freezing, but I could not stop laughing. My dad came out and took this photo, and it makes me smile just looking at it. In the middle of a hard time, we were able to find joy.
