November Rain

The gloomy weather seems to have been taking its toll on my mood lately. I don't like to have the rain in my shoes. I don't like to see the sky painted gray. I don't like it when nothing is going my way. I don't like to be the one with blues.

But then everything suddenly turned around when I looked outside my window today and saw SNOW. The immense beauty that nature has at its disposal left me speechless and brought the biggest of grins to my face. You haven't experienced anything until you've opened the window to your second floor apartment when it is sub-zero temperature outside and stuck your head out to see how it feels to have snow falling on the tip of your nose. Or stuck your tongue out to catch a snowflake and intercepted its journey to the ground. Or sat on the windowsill and dangled your feet in cold breeze, humming your favourite tune.

For that brief time period, you are transported back in time to the days when you didn't have a care in the world. When there were no exams around the corner. When you could afford to waste time and not feel even the smallest ounce of guilt. When your days weren't so structured and you didn't have any work to do.

I wish there were more of these days. But for now, I'm going to enjoy the moment, grab my boots and coat and do a little snow dance :D After all..it's not every day that it snows in Philadelphia!
