Cadre Today: Evening Edition

Cadre. Happy Saturday night. Welcome to Cadre Today with Shannon. Welcome to 8 o' clock Central Standard Time. Cadre tonight evening edition is essentially where we say goodnight to each other and check in on each other and see how everyone's day was. So I'm in my car, I just got done working out and I will tell you if you have never been, if you like to go to the gym and you've never been to the gym on a Saturday night night or a Friday night, frankly, after 6pm it's like the best place ever. No one is there and it's freaking fantastic.

So if you want to just work out in peace, go to the gym on a Saturday night at, at 8:00pm it's rocking. Okay, you guys, so I wanted to pop in here. I've been gone for, on vacation for a week and I know before I left I was doing some Cadre todays with you all where we were just kind of saying, how's your day, what's happening, your life? And just checking in with each other and so I wanted to do that. So I'm Shannon, for those of you who don't know me, I'm part of the Cadre team and I'm someone who lives with anxiety, CPTSD and parents, a child with autism.

And so I am here again just to check in on your day. We might be having some technical issues. I'm gonna keep talking and pretend that we don't. But I can see that there's a lot of folks joining, so let's check in on our days. On a scale of one to how was your day today? One is it was not my best day. One is I'm tired wasn't. It wasn't what I wanted it to be. And a 10 is this was a rock star day. 10 out of 10, best day you could ever have. I'm going to give you my number to start with and then I would love to see your numbers in the comments if you're willing to share.

My number today was an eight, which is a pretty good day for me. Part of why it was an eight is because I returned from a vacation and I got to see my children and I got to see my dog, I got to see my house. I got to see the things that I cherish and the little things in life that make you feel happy. And I'm wondering again, I think I'm having some tech issues and so please do not if I can't see your comments, just wherever you are, think about your day, think about me. Asking you about your day and think about what number it was for you and then why.

So maybe just take a breath, take a minute and think about that for you. I ask, and we do this exercise together because one of the things about being human is that we're all going to have ones. We're all going to have fives, we're all going to have tens. We're always going to have all kinds of days. That's humanity. That's life. And I think it's important for myself and I think for others to really recognize the value of the good days and the bad days. So today, I think I shared was an 8 for me, and it was an 8 because I was able to really look with fresh eyes at the things that I have.

I have these beautiful kids, I have this sweet dog. I have a warm home to go to. I have all my things. And just being reminded of that gave me an eight day. So how was your day today? Did you have a day where you were able to say, I am lucky, I am blessed, I am fortunate, I am grateful? Or did you have a day where you're like, nothing's going right? Because those days exist too. So wherever you are, whatever day you're having, whether that is a good day or a bad day, or a 5 or a 10, or any of the numbers, I'm grateful that you're here.

I'm grateful that you're here on this day. I am here seeing you, wherever number you are, as is everyone else in this Cadre sphere. And it's full of people who are rooting for you to have a 10 day, but also here if you have a one. And we're here for all of those things. So that's what I have for you tonight. I will pop in again soon, but I just want to tell you all I missed you. I'm so grateful you're here, and I hope you have a fantastic evening and we'll see you here again soon in the Cadre sphere.

Bye, you guys.
