You know the saying that you never really appreciate something until it's gone? Well, I think that there is a little more to it: I think that you never truly appreciate something until it actually returns, that is when you realize how much you have missed it. Sometimes these things are things that you actually never thought you cared about, but when you get them back, it brings such joy, that you realize you have missed it all along...
Today it snowed. Big, fat, lovely snowflakes. It has been so cold in this city for a few months now, and it has actually been miserable. When I woke up today and looked at another dreary day outside, I just wanted to go back to bed and pull the covers over my head. But then something magical happened (yes, I used the word magical because that's what it felt like!). The snow started falling! Everyone said that it does not snow in Shanghai, but today, for a few hours we got snow!
What amazed me was the peace and serenity it brought with it...walking around outside was calm, people were quiet, and this city was actually pretty enjoyable for a change. I loved every minute if it :) I can only hope that the snow (and the quietness it brought with it) will stick...unfortunately I don't think that is going to happen, and by tomorrow this city will return to normal. But for one day, it was fantastic.
