It rained this morning. In January. In Edmonton. This is not normal. But it was somehow exactly what I needed. I woke up to the sound of rain on my window and thought "This is weird. It sounds like spring." In a weird way though it gave me exactly what I needed: a shock. I have reached that point in the year where I am just done with the whole idea of winter and yet, being a hardened Edmontonian, I am well aware that I have at least another 2 or 3 months of this to look forward to. So the rain was refreshing. Even if it did turn the city into a giant skating rink this morning. It forced me to stop and take a step back, to look at the world in a new way, even if it was just for a second. And I needed that.
