Music is a spice of life! I plan to post a musical selection each day of the year, based on reflection on events of my days.

Day 6 - 286 -- Decisions, Decisions
Today began with a brief bit of sunshine, followed quickly by the return of cloud. The planned visit from a workman to fix the ceiling and wall left by the plumbers a week ago was postponed until tomorrow. It is Thanksgiving Monday after all, which wasn't a problem for him when he made the appointment a few days back. So, my plans for the day were altered as well as those for tomorrow. Bizarre -- but it turned out to be a reasonable day. Bits of housework and a movie filled the afternoon. These occurred after I voted in the advanced polls. The polling station was empty when I arrived just past noon and a couple arrived as I left. I thanked those working today and realized there was much to be thankful for today.
This province passed a law giving women the franchise just a century ago. Dates were different for women across the country. Indigenous people were able to vote as recently 1960s. It is not something that I take for granted. It is a privilege as well as a right.
The song for today has been used before for such days, but nothing more perfect came to mind for the blog today. It noted some of the though that went into the major action of the day. I find the upbeat sound made me smile as I walked to and from the polling station. Enjoy!
