Have you guys heard about Odin?

His story has been all over my Facebook newsfeed this week and then, while scrolling People.com yesterday morning, I saw HIS STORY on the homepage!!!!!!!!!!  That's quite the leap from thee ole Peterborough Examiner ;)  

Thank you to canoe.ca for the photo :)

I've been thinking about Odin over the weekend and my brain decided to welcome you in for a looks-y.  LUCKY.  YOU.  Haaaaa!!!!!!!!   MY TWO CENTS:

1)  Always RSVP.  Even if you can't make it.  Because if someone takes the time to invite you, they deserve the two seconds it takes to give them a response.  (Besides, "forgetting" the invite situation altogether makes the next encounter super, super awkward.  You know it does.) 

2)  Social media is AWESOME.  Of course we've seen social media do it's thang with similar feel-good stories.  But when the feel-good story comes from where you grew up, the realization is BIGGER than BIG!  Three cheers for the tech savvy! :)

3)  There are MANY, MANY kind people out there.  Ordinary people that do things JUST BECAUSE. 

4)  You should cheer for the Raptors.  And the Toronto Maple Leafs.  And watch Property Brothers.  And appreciate the theatrical talents of Elijah Wood.  (So maybe they participated in the celebration...)

5)  Odin is a SWEET NAME.  Give it 9 months, and the name is sure to be trending too :) 

Thank you for touching OUR HEARTS on YOUR BIRTHDAY, Odin!  Wishing you a very happy 13th birthday and an AWESOME year ahead!!!

P.S. Alternative titles to this post?  MOMS RULE // CALL YOUR MOM // THANK YOUR MOM // LOVE YOUR MOM // BUT REALLY, MOMS RULE
