Daily Dose of Happiness # 169 - Departures from YEG
My Daily Dose of Happiness series is designed to celebrate simple places that spark joy. The everyday locations where life feels a little bigger, brighter, or full of possibility. And today’s happiness?
It’s taking off from YEG!
Welcome to the Edmonton International Airport (YEG) where adventures begin, reunions happen, and someone is absolutely running late with coffee in one hand and a boarding pass in the other.
Whether you're flying somewhere warm, somewhere exciting, or somewhere that still requires a parka and toque, this Daily Dose of Happiness is for you, because there’s something magical about a departures board.
It’s a giant wall of possibility eh.
Every line is:
A Geocaching adventure trip
A long-awaited vacation
A work trip someone may or may not be thrilled about
A family reunion
A lovers rendezvous
A brand-new chapter
And it all begins right here in Edmonton.
