The simple beauty of a blue sky
I’m away from the office this week visiting family in Ontario. This has been a hard summer for many Canadians who are affected by wildfires. Ontario has been no exception. Instead of lovely blue skies, Toronto has been shrouded by a thick, dark haze that blocks out the sun and makes breathing difficult.
This morning I woke up at my brother’s cottage in Georgian Bay to the glorious sight of a clear blue sky. After two very smoky days, the winds have smiled in our favour.
PTSD recovery can be like that. At times, you might feel as though you’re surrounded by a dark cloud. It can be hard to remember what it feels like to have a nice day. Know that change is possible. There are things that you can do to bring your blue skies back. Even a light breeze over time can clear away the darkest clouds.
Plan for the fall now to make sure that you have a hand in creating good days on your horizon. We have a number of groups coming up, keep an eye on our site for more information and program dates!
- Navigating Next Steps: Creating confidence & clarifying strengths
- Identity & Transition: Build a Life Beyond the Uniform
- New program: Recovering from Moral Injuries (first come, first serve!)
Whether you’re starting a program for the first time, or maintaining that consistent, steady push, we have a program that’s right for you.
I’m going to take time to fully appreciate this blue-sky day while it’s here.
Warm thoughts,
