Today I finally managed to get myself out of the door for some much-needed sunshine.
I'd never been a big fan of the sun actually, but being out on a sunny winter day makes a difference when you'd been stuck indoors, only being able to see sunlight from the window, but not feel it on your skin.
The wind today brings a hint of spring; I can almost imagine the sakura petals on those naked trees along the river. I see people cycling on the streets, wind in their hair. And an impulse to buy a bicycle right from the store down the street surges in me.
I didn't succumb to the impulse. I told myself: there are 3 months ahead for you to enjoy the spring wind on the bicycle. It doesn't have to be today.
Today I shall enjoy the slow stroll down the streets.
