Envisioning Possibilities
WISDOM
Wisdom and Big Wind Day share a common thread: they both make you go, “Whoa!” Wisdom is like that sage advice from your grandma that always seems to hit the nail on the head. It’s the culmination of life’s lessons, wrapped up in a neat package of insight and understanding. And then there’s Big Wind Day, a celebration of meteorologists who nailed a forecast predicting a major gust. It’s like Mother Nature saying, “Hold onto your hats, folks!” So, whether it’s the wisdom of knowing when to bring an umbrella or the excitement of watching trees do the tango on Big Wind Day, both remind us that knowledge is power – and sometimes, it’s just plain cool.
