The day came with much relief. Momentary weather relief brought warmer temperature with clouds and wind that made it feel a bit cooler than numbers might have indicated, but it was still a lovely respite. Other pondering of my own emotions led to understanding of what and why positive and negative feelings occur at different points in time -- sometimes following closely upon each other.
On an outing to the second grocery store in town today, I still could not find stew beef. Yes, I could buy steak to cut up on my own, but standing at the counter I was surprised to see bison cubes. So the stew made today will be a great reminder of home. Beef stew on its own is a comfort food for me -- I use my dad's recipe. Bison was available in a small cafe in Saskatoon in a stew served with baked bannock. I lived a couple of blocks from a specialty butcher who always had bison, elk and emu along with many other meat and poultry varieties found less often in major grocery stores.
The revelations of the day brought a sense of elation. The need to celebrate and move surfaced. Lyrics from a song chorus seemed to fit perfectly with my emotions. Stay safe. Enjoy!
