I got out to do a walk with my family this morning and we were lucky not to get wet. It has been raining on and off since about 30 minutes after we got home. I was hoping to take my mom out to see the Christmas lights around a nearby lake but she won’t walk in the rain. I’m used to it now but my mom thinks we are crazy to choose to walk in the rain.

I get it, she grew up in the Caribbean, and if it rained you just waited it out for 10 minutes while the cloud went by. But that won’t work living in Vancouver, on the edge of a rainforest.

Today while scrolling on social media I saw a clip that said, “Things to do in Canada during the winter.” Then the clip changed to a closeup of a person pulling a suitcase in an airport and the caption read, “Leave”. 😝

I ran a few errands in the rain, it isn’t a big deal, but I have to say that I am already looking forward to winter being over. I don’t think my wife would ever want to leave Canada, and I get it… this is a great place to live. However I have to admit that the rain does get to me a bit, and I yearn for sunshine.

But I’ll just keep taking my Vitamin D, using my daylight light, and dreaming of sunnier days. And yes, I’ll still get outside even if it’s raining.
