It was gorgeous
this morning. The ripple in the ocean reflected light and dark hues in the
buildings beyond. Hints of blue smudged in.
The sky
unfolded a crispness. Reminiscent of old man winter. The temperatures idled
below zero.
As I rowed
to shore, gloves on hands, each breath seen I relished how grateful I was for
being.
Yesterday
on my walk to school I watched a father with his girls. Both in gumboots, hoodies,
raincoats and ski mitts. He, holding an umbrella. My smile told him how cool of
a dad he was for walking outside in the frosty rain with his children.
They walked
through the leaves. Colours outlining the vibrancy of fall and the mat of
winter.
It was
slippery and frosty when I landed to shore. Taking caution to the ramps and
later on my bike I chanted gratitude for today’s clear skies.
I too wore a
hoodie, raincoat and gloves.
I too wore
winter.
