Day 2- 172 -- Changes at the Top

It was a misty, rainy day today. This appears to be the remnants of the second named Atlantic storm of the season -- Bill. It seems early for this to be happening, but the storm was rather strong and large and has left much behind as it has moved across the continent. Even with that, the day felt positive. Physio went well and I got some things completed at the office.

A farewell and thank you reception was held at the end of the day for five administrative people who are moving on -- to other work sites or to other positions on campus. It is difficult to see people move, but they are pursuing fantastic opportunities. Others will return to academic roles, so while they will still be around, they will sit in different chairs <smile>. It was a pleasant gathering, though mixed feelings were present. It will be a major change for the institution with many new faces on the admin team.

The afternoon's celebration seemed intriguing since it occurred the day after the season changed -- similar to the forward movement of the school. It brought to mind many songs, but one seemed to fit the changing face of the university. I love the title of the song and the lyrics note that a change in one of a collective can change other people in the group. Change can be frightening, but it can also be exhilarating. Enjoy!
