Drizzle and cloud dominated today with snow expected overnight. During an outing to two pharmacies (and two other shops while waiting for prescriptions to be filled), the walk was refreshing. The air felt clear and fresh with a slight northerly breeze that made me glad I had a hood to pull up. The ear band alone would not have been enough for the lengthier walk I did while waiting for meds. At home today, I spoke with three friends in separate phone and online chats. These regular meetings help so much to decompress a bit and have interactions with other humans -- particularly on days when I haven't gone out to pharmacy or grocery stores.
The forecast for the coming week suggests colder temperatures will arrive. This brings a definite winter feel with high and low temperatures being below freezing. January is upon us, though the oft wished for 'January thaw' may not be part of this year, since winter began a bit later -- my favourite kind of winter <smile>.
While the day could have felt very gloomy with the heavier cloud cover, I chose to hold onto hope to bring a positive feel to the day. This reminded me of song lyrics that speak to both greyness of the weather and the need for hope. I've shared a cover of the song by a female band. Stay safe. Enjoy!
