Today I am thankful for clouds. Now that may seem a silly thing to be thankful for, especially for someone that suffers fro seasonal depression. You know, the depression that comes from not enough sunlight. So why would I be thankful for clouds? Every day or at least every other day we have had a storm. Not wimpy storms either, but storms that have dropped between 6-18 inches of snow. Snow on the road, snow on the sidewalks, snow on the grass. With the storms have come winds. 50 mile an hour winds. Winds that have caused white outs and closed roads and kept students at school after the final bell has rung. All of this has come from clouds, so why would I be thankful for them today.

Today I am thankful for clouds because they keep the warmth from the sun trapped and on the earth. On days like today when the sun is shining and it is pretty outside, the light glinting off of the pure white powdered crystals on the ground, it is cold. Make that C O L D. Cold and I are not friends. I really need a blanket and today I am thankful for a blanket for the sky, clouds.
