Finding Humor in the Moments in Between with Snicker Chocolate Bars








I wrote this blog a few weeks ago but life happened and I did not get around to posting it. Usually I write about something related to work but this blog is about something more personal.

This week I had a moment were I thought I was going to lose my temper. If you know me, this rarely happens. I was standing in Shoppers Drug Mart with my 80+ year old mum who has dementia. I will leave it, at my mum was having a difficult day with her memory and had acted out her frustration/ fear by swearing loudly at me and calling me names for reminding her of her shopping list. As I was standing by the cashier trying to control my own frustration and growing anger, my eyes settled on what the above picture shows and I started to laugh. In my life, especially now, it is the little things that are most important. In that moment, in Shoppers Drug Mart: my mum has being feisty and I was being impatient, grouchy and dramatic about the entire thing.

Thank you Snickers and the universe for the laugh and reminding me to focus on the moment and to remember that in perspective can change everything.
