It was a rare weekday morning that my spouse and I got to enjoy a slower pace in the morning. Mornings are usually rushed between dogs, cooking breakfast, and getting ready for the commute to work. This particular morning was a different experience, one I would even describe as serene.
While I was picking up lattes from The Snapping Turtle (I love them so much!), my handsome fella was picking up breakfast sandwiches from Tim Hortons. We love the Harvest Sandwich made with vegetarian sausage. It’s one of my favourite things from Tim Hortons, I hope they keep making them.
It was a beautiful day and we wanted to be outside. We picked “The Nicole Bench”. This bench was set up recently in my town and I was curious what the “N” or “Z” meant. A man was tending the spot while we were out walking, we stopped and chatted for a bit. It was a memorial for his daughter, taken too soon. She loved to sit out there and watch the water. He made this tranquil spot in her honor and faced the bench in her favourite direction. It was heartbreaking really.
We enjoyed the view that morning while we sat and ate our breakfast, enjoying each other’s company, loving that we had this quiet peaceful morning together. Very rare and so much appreciated. These small moments mean so much because you just never know.
