ππ¨π¦ Well, this wasn't exactly the Thanksgiving surprise I was expecting! π¦π
Today, I decided to stop by Sweet Resilience for a nice cup of coffee and a little break from my busy day. ββ€οΈ
Unfortunately, when I came back outside, I discovered that someone had taken my Celtic Trimmer flag. π
Now, to some people, it might just be a flag. But to me, it represents something much bigger.
It represents the hard work, dedication, long days, and pride I've put into building Celtic Trimmer right here in Thunder Bay.
But there's something else about this flag that people might not realize.
My flag isn't just there to advertise my business. It's attached to a white pole on my bike trailer, and when I'm travelling home in the evening, especially after dark, the flag moves around in the wind, helping make me more noticeable to passing drivers. π²π
So unfortunately, whoever took it didn't just take something with my business name on it. They also took away something that helps with my visibility and safety on the road.
And honestly, having something like this happen on Thanksgiving weekend is pretty disappointing.
β€οΈ But I'm choosing kindness over anger.
I'm not looking to involve the police or make a big scene. I'd simply love to have my flag returned.
π To whoever took my flag:
If you're reading this, I'd genuinely appreciate it if you brought it back. No questions asked, no hard feelings.
In fact, I'd even be happy to give you a Tim Hortons gift card as a small gesture of goodwill for doing the right thing. ββ€οΈ
And to my wonderful Thunder Bay community, if anyone happens to spot my Celtic Trimmer flag, please reach out and let me know!
I'm not going to let one unfortunate incident take away the spirit of Thanksgiving.
Because at the end of the day, I'm still incredibly thankful for my customers, my supporters, and everyone who has helped me build this little local business.
ππ΄ And if my flag doesn't find its way home...
Well, I guess I'll just have to get another one made up!
It's disappointing, but I'm certainly not going to let one missing flag bring down my spirits.
And in the famous spirit of William Wallace from Braveheart, there's only one thing left to say...
π΄βοΈπ βYOU CAN TAKE MY FLAG... BUT YOU'LL NEVER TAKE MY FREEEEEDOM!β π
Happy Thanksgiving, Thunder Bay! π¦π
Stay safe, stay kind, and keep that Celtic spirit alive! ππ
