Joy Drop: Leafs' William Nylander knows how to avoid Toronto traffic

Friends, I know I am not alone when I say that the weight of certain world events has been overwhelming and deeply sad. I am finding small joys in community and in the warmth of friends and family when the world feels cold. I also find meaning in penning this online notebook. Joy Drop does not offer solutions to complex issues, but it does offer love and tending to the heart and that is part of self-preservation. 

This week there are a few things that made me smile and I will start with this hilarious photo of the Toronto Maple Leafs' William Nylander taking the subway to the Scotiabank Arena ahead of a game against the Ottawa Senators.

It's so funny to me that a player from one of the most beloved teams in this city's history is sitting there minding his own business, just being a normal Torontonian, as the passenger beside him (in a Leafs toque) is on his phone not realizing that. The Leafs lost against the Sens, but Nylander won. Public transportation is awesome — even for famous athletes.
