take it as it comes

Last week's Monday, people in the U.S. were celebrating Columbus day and we here in Canada thanksgiving. We had a day to be thankful for and I think most of us were. On the 12th of October we got to enjoy a day of sunshine and +24°c. Pretty darn lucky, I would say. I decided to spend the day by biking around enjoying autumn views of Montreal.

While biking around, I was thinking to myself what a rollercoaster of a place this is. You can't get bored as you never know what's ahead after the next curve. This goes for the weather, the people, the city, the culture, the everything. Unpredictable and full of surprises. Good and bad. Focus on the good and forget the bad, is probably how to deal with it.

Five days later it was down to 0°c and snowing. That's a pretty surprising difference. Just take it as it comes and enjoy it. 

People here are just as moody and unpredictable as the weather. You better hold your ground and be careful who you open up to. Then again, in a situation when you least expect it, kindness might be handed to you in the most curious way. Just take them as they come and enjoy them... or avoid them... or a little bit of both.
