This winter has been a lot of firsts, from the first subzero temperature experience to first snow flurries to a first dinner by the fireplace at our apartment. And today was a surprisingly beautiful morning. It began like an otherwise regular monday morning, dull and dreary with the sunrise scheduled for 7:45am. The little time that I have lived in Portland, I have realized that you either wake up to a foggy morning or a rainy morning unless it is summer which I'm yet to experience here. It is warmer on the days it rains. On foggy days, the sun decides to say a quick hello during the late afternoon before bidding adieu for the day and the fog returns. So today was a pleasant aberration. It was a cold morning, it was -1C when the sun rose behind the grey clouds. As usual I rolled up the blinds to let in the daylight and then out of nowhere came sunlight streaming into our home early in the morning, by early I only mean way before noon. Today has been a very bright and sunny day although it is quite cold. The presence of sunshine just brightened my day and I have been feeling very upbeat the whole day :)
