I am writing this from The Fox Hotel & Suites in Banff National Park. We just got back from having dinner at the Chili’s Restaurant in the hotel (so much yum), I have a drink on the beside table, for the first time in weeks (if not months), the crazy ringing in my ears isn’t screaming at deafening levels, and my shoulders aren’t pulled tight to my ears.

I am R.E.L.A.X.E.D.

To pick one thing that made me happy today would be impossible. I have a list.

1. I slept until 8:30am.
2. We walked (YES! I walked) to El Toro for breakfast.
3. I had an amazing breakfast burrito for breakfast and didn’t even eat my potatoes!
4. I WALKED BACK WITHOUT PAIN!
5. Spent an hour in the hotel’s hot pool.
6. The Toronto Blue Jays whooped the New York Yankees in Game One of the ALDS!
7. Happy text exchange with my son.
8. Snow falling in the mountains.
9. Espresso Martini(s).
10. Bailey’s on our private deck overlooking Banff Avenue and the misty mountains.

It has been a wonderful, beautiful, fantastic very good day, and I am very glad we decided to come to Banff. ❤ Even if we aren’t Banff people. Off season, it is a wonderful place to be.
