PLEASE NOTE: Today's #ElectionDay photo comes with a mission, so please read the full caption, and consider joining in. Thank you.

Let's go...

Unless you've been in a cave for a while, you probably already know that today isn't just Election Day in the U.S. It's an inflection point in history.

I'm Canadian, so I don't get a say in who gets to live at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for the next four years. But make no mistake: This will ripple out globally. And since we live right above the political zoo, us Canuckistanians won't escape unscathed.

Social media land has been an especially ugly place of late, and I'm guessing the next little while will plumb new depths. So I hope you'll view my offering today as something of a minor effort to bring light to an otherwise dark place.

I don't want to talk politics. I want us to focus on what we need to do to make the world a better, kinder place. Lofty and naive? Of course. But that's how I'm built, and that's how I roll.

SO HERE'S YOUR MISSION: Find a photo or video that makes you smile - and post it as a response here.

That's it. If we throw goodness out there, we're part of the solution to whatever disease it is that got us to where we are today.

I started us off with cupcakes waiting for their not-quite-forever-family in a supermarket display case. Because who doesn't like cupcakes? And of all the choices we'll make today, this will most certainly be the sweetest. And we could all use some more of that.

Are you in? Let's do this, shall we?
