🌨️ #shareyourweather #springsnow #yycweather Sunday without the "SUN" 😬 ... _____ "This is for those of you who may feel a kind of sheet metal loneliness on Sunday, who had an awful mother, or a mother who recently died, or wanted to be a mother but didn't get to have kids, or had kids who ended up breaking your hearts. [...] But Mother’s Day celebrates a huge lie about the value of women: that mothers are superior beings, that they have done more with their lives and chosen a more difficult path. Ha! Every woman’s path is difficult, and many mothers were as equipped to raise children as wire monkey mothers. I say that without judgment: It is true. An unhealthy mother’s love is withering. The illusion is that mothers are automatically more fulfilled and complete. [...] I hate the way the holiday makes all non-mothers, and the daughters of dead mothers, and the mothers of dead or lost children, feel the deepest kind of grief and failure. The non-mothers must sit in their churches, temples, mosques, recovery rooms and pretend to feel good about the day while they are excluded from a holiday that benefits no one but Hallmark and See’s. There is no refuge — not at the horse races, movies, malls, museums. Even the turn-off-your-cellphone announcer is going to open by saying, “Happy Mother’s Day!”" — Anne Lamott (Salon Magazine - May 10, 2010) #snow #calgaryweather #yycsnow #abstorm #calgary #calgaryviews #yyclife #calgaryliving #dailyhiveyyc #spring #spring2021 #sundayvibes #stayhome #stayhomestaysafe #covidlife #covidlockdown (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/COqtVCRhbSv/?igshid=1r4rdlizj3jw2

❄️ #capturecalgary #shareyourweather . White Christmas 2020! ______ "If we listen through our broken heart, love can gently point the way to a deeper understanding of how human life contains both darkness and light. At some point we realize that we still have choices: We will either open our heart to be healed, or we will close down to avoid the pain." — Paula D’Arcy . . . . . . . . . . . . #winter #calgaryweather #yycweather https://www.instagram.com/p/CJHqvrwheFm/?igshid=1vqxgt04hzhqe

❄️ #shareyourweather #winter #capturcalgary . The days are so much shorter now that I have to make a conscious effort to get outside before sunset. Although, on days like this it doesn't really matter. A foggy, magical day in Calgary. The white light seems to strip everything of it's colour. The breath of winter - tiny crystals - a veil of ice - face and hands - skin cold - the freshness of this winter's white day. __________ "So you mustn’t be frightened ... if a sadness rises in front of you, larger than any you have ever seen; if an anxiety, like light and cloud-shadows, moves over your hands and over everything you do. You must realize that something is happening to you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand and will not let you fall." — Ranier Maria Rilke from Letters to a Young Poet . . . . . . . #winter #calgaryweather #yycweather #parksofcalgary #yycparks #trees #calgary #calgaryalberta #explorecalgary #winterreturns #winterwalkers #snow #dailyhiveyyc #calgaryviews #fog #naturephotography #naturelovers #outwalking #comewalkwithme (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHtrE0Khtpn/?igshid=z2nw8cnugtt8

⛈️ #abstorm #yycweather #shareyourweather #helloseptember . There was a wicked HAIL storm in Calgary at around midnight last night 😲. The whole house shook and the lightning was intense. The cats were absolutely terrified 😿. However, the damage appears to be minimal this morning. The flowers were going to get killed off by frost soon anyway 😔. Moving slowly this morning due to lack of sleep. Anyone else? _________________ . "And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about." ― Haruki Murakami . . . . . . . #hail #hailstorm #calgaryliving #calgary #capturecalgary #thunderstorms #yycinfluencer #yyclife #weather #scaryweather #dailyhiveyyc #yycbuzz #labourday #afterthestorm (at Northwest Calgary, Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/B16fmG6BeJc/?igshid=15gsqiw9ymdzd
