#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

Albert Einstein once said, "Time flies when you’re having fun!" And that is so true, especially when it comes to the activities that bring us the most joy — the ones we get wrapped up into, willingly distracted by, and end up fully entertained.

What’s a hobby or interest that makes you lose track of time in the best of ways? (For Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks , that's definitely writing and creating various graphic designs on Canva. She can get so absorbed in her personal projects that she doesn’t even realize hours have passed!)

A new week, a new theme, Mighties! 💪

This week we'll be focusing on joy. 😊

To get us started, let's think of three words or phrases that come to mind when we hear the word joy.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says the three words and phrases that come up for her are "a bright, sunny day," "worry-free," and "love."

What's yours?
