Bright sunshine filled the day. For the afternoon walk and a shorter walk around sunset, colder temps with even colder wind chills accompanied me. These are still not in the range of the wind chills in the prairie provinces, but were cold enough to make the quads bark a bit in response to the wintry feel. When the backs of the thighs do the same thing, it is very, very, very cold. <smile>
I under-estimated the time for a couple of tasks today, so did not get the planned cooking done. Instead, I ordered Chinese take out food to celebrate Lunar New Year. The Year of the Ox generally indicates movement, since the animal is a hard-working beast. Prognosticators suggest this could mean that there is more movement in the second half of the year rather than the stay-home style of life of the past year. I hope that the difficult work that we have been doing to keep the pandemic in check, will pay off with some degree of freedom to move about to visit those we've been separated from by distance and circumstance.
While pondering the new beginning presented by the lunar new year, I thought of lines from many songs. The selection chosen today speaks to the opportunities of moving forward, so seemed to fit the ideas of the day well. Stay safe. Enjoy!
