Today is the 45th day of autumn so we are at the seasonal halfway point. True to form, the transition season weather has been cooler more often than warmer. The walk today was chilly with a brisk breeze adding to the coolness of the 'feel like' temperature. That said, the big wind outside my window tonight heralds the arrival of warmer air. The next few days will be into mid-teens rather than the lower single digits of the past few days. I welcome that change, knowing that there will be fewer such temperatures over the next 45 days and the end of autumn.
I participated in a great Zoom meeting with a research colleague this afternoon. It is fun to catch up and continue work with an ongoing project. In the evening, I attended a webinar with a Canadian senior statesman, the Rt. Hon. Brian Mulroney, former prime minister. He was interviewed through Zoom by a journalist, news anchor and former TV news show host. Both are alumni of the local university. This was billed as a fireside chat and it did come off as a relaxed conversational two hours. Topics dealt with international affairs during his tenure as prime minister and commentary on current global issues. It was an interesting evening -- one that provided a calm and hopeful look to the future. I think I really needed that grounding today.
The song today was written to promote mental health for women. Today the lyrics fit my feelings well. stay safe. Enjoy!
