The outing and exercise today involved moving 2 inches/5 cm of snow that fell overnight. There were a few sunny breaks through the major cloud and no noticeable breeze. It was a pleasant day to be outside. While shoveling, I chatted with two passers-by out for a walk. They were from BC and had been here for 6 weeks and heading home in another week. I so enjoyed talking with them. Our wee town has many visitors during the summer months, but for obvious reasons very few this year. Great conversations start over sorting out currency, choosing a restaurant or providing directions. Today the conversations brought back a few moments of normalcy. For that I am grateful.
Talking to strangers today left me with a positive feeling -- something akin to hope. This made me feel a few moments of peace. Some of the lyrics of a song ran through my mind when thinking of these moments. Keep safe. Enjoy!
