Then, it got warm in the last week, somewhere along 4-8ºC with heavy rainfall. It wasn't fun. So on Christmas eve, i was on a mission to produce some Christmas cards. This was one of these last minute Hang Kit projects where i figure i'd go downstairs to the art shop, and buy some card stock, buy some colour base paper for framing, then look for a photo that represented Christmas and put that on the front of the card.
I really didn't think it would be difficult as I felt I had this new sense of looking at life, and how God has created the world, it wouldn't be difficult to find a sort of picture that warms the heart or a sort of miracle :) But, i was wrong, it was the heaviest rain fall i've ever been walking outside in Toronto, and probably anywhere.... it was deceptive since it was winter, and it was so cold a week earlier, that you figure the rain wouldn't be wet. Yeah... makes total sense... Anyway, ended up almost giving up until I went to Nathan Phillips, when I saw two people skating. One with a cowboy had, and both with umbrellas (smart!) must of been out of towners i thought, since NO one brings an umbrella in Toronto in the winters, and let along walk in the winter. Anyway, it ended up one of them is from Germany, and the other (in yellow) said he was local... (i still don't believe him, i mean cowboy hat, yellow down jacket in 5ºC weather, with a matching sunflower seed umbrella? okay, maybe) But either way, they were talking, and just skating with the most fun in the worst of conditions for skating. Something that I think as a Canadian we (myself included) take advantage of, the excellent facilities we are blessed, and just how to make the most of a crummy situation.... it was nice, smiles, and chatting, they sincerely look like they were having fun skating. Anyway, that was my picture for the Christmas cards... not sure if the picture really translated it.
