Mindful Monday

Common Loon, Algonquin Provincial Park

Well, we didn’t see any moose, bears, otters or loonlets—but what we did have was fantastic weather (aside from one rainy morning that actually made for some beautiful shots!).

On this particular foggy morning, I woke up and quickly headed over to Hannah’s tent to wake her. These are my absolute favourite mornings on the water. We didn’t paddle far from our site when this loon appeared.

The lake was completely glass, and the sun was just beginning to peek through the fog.

So, although my moose never appeared, we were gifted some pretty spectacular moments.

Algonquin always has something to give—you just have to be open to seeing it.

And maybe that’s today’s reminder: Sometimes we don’t receive the things we ask for, but when we can pause, look around, and find something to be grateful for anyway…that’s winning.

Wishing you a mindful Monday.
