Rain Rehabilitates

The rain has been falling on the city for about a week straight. I am loving it. Rain refreshes. It rehabilitates. It's rehabilitated me. It's reminded me that the brown grass will always turn green again. The flowers will bloom. What was dead becomes alive again. It's so refreshing. It calms me down and gives me a happy outlook for the future. I am happy. I am excited for whatever the future throws my way. I'm stoked to be along for the ride. I've been lost in thoughts and have found myself rejoicing in solitude lately. It's nice, and has allowed me to break out on my own easily. I have learned that I am not afraid to live on my own, to take care of myself, and to take care of a home of my own. I'm excited to live on my own actually. Really excited. I want to move away after I graduate and just start a completely new life completely of my own. I've got my eyes set on Vancouver or the East Coast. Not to run away, just to start a new chapter of my life. To do whatever I want to do. To never feel stuck, and to be happy. Always do things that make me happy. Right now what makes me happy is to be single, free, and dreaming. 

This past weekend I went on a little road trip with a few close girl friends out to Invermere, BC. My Dad has a trailer out on a lake near there, so we camped out there for the weekend and visited our friend. It was so much fun. The weather was beautiful and we spent the weekend in our bikini's soaking up the blessed sunshine. It was a delicious taste of summer, and relaxing. I spent 3 hours just laying on the dock  remembering and appreciating how good life is. I have so many amazing friends and I live in an absolutely amazing country. It's beautiful. Sometimes you just have to take some time to appreciate life. Appreciate all that you have, and all that you can do. 

I have also started my spring photography course. It's so interesting. I am finally learning how to use my camera properly. Some of the concepts take a while to understand and master, but overall I love the course and I love what I have been able to create by using the tools I've learned. I also visited the Yousuf Karsh exhibit at the Glenbow Museum and loved it. What an amazing photographer. Such stunning work, I could sit in there for hours.
