Today is first of February and that feels great! January has finally come to an end. I can't help it but January is just not my most favorite month. It just feel like one long Monday. The festivities of the holidays are over and the year has just started. It is still very dark and cold and one long stretch before any other holiday comes up. Well now it has finally come to an end.February feels much better. It is short and and you can start to sense some small signs of spring. You know that ones March is approching you are almost into spring time.
Last week I noticed something that really made me happy and filled my heart and soul with hope and joy. One can finally notice that the days are starting to get longer. Now the sun does not set until about 4:30 pm and in the morning it is almost up by 7:30 when I rush off to work. Friday morning there was the most incredible and beautiful sunset. I was standing on the subway seeing the entire sky painted in pale blue and pink colors against the soft silouettes of Hammarby backen (the ski slope) and Globen. I just wished I had had my camera with me. I wanted to call out "stop the train! Get me my camera and just hold everything! This is just sooo beautiful!"
Since I could't get the picture from Friday morning I had to look in my picture folders and found these two pictures that give you a hint of the colors I saw Friday on my way to and from work. Since I also left work earlier on Friday afternoon I was home just before the sun set and got the most amzing sunset also.
So days are getting longer and one can finally notice the difference. Also I heard birds that have started to sing and that also makes my heart fill with happiness as it makes me think of spring.
