🐺 The Wolves Den
February 10, 2023
Welcome Back Sun
As the days get longer and we can enjoy the sun a little more each day, it is important to take advantage of some outdoor activities. Whether it be a walk at Lincoln Park, Silver Creek, or enjoying some skating at the outdoor rink. Sunlight can improve our mood and help us feel better, coupled with some physical activity. It also provides some great opportunities for time with family and friends. I am reminded of the quote by Helen Keller, "Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows." Emotionally, this can be a difficult time of year, but we got this ✌️☮️
As always, thank you for entrusting us with one of the most important jobs in the world.
Go Wolves 🐺
