Shades of Gray

It's that time of year again, where I begin to measure the weather, not in sunny or cloudy, but in just how cloudy is it. I feel like the seasonal affective disorder has hit me a little later this year than usual. It might be because, although we have had lots of cloudy days lately (poor Daynah has been here a week and hasn't really gotten to see a blue sky yet) most days have a little snippet of sunshine or blue sky, even if it is just the hazy sunshine. Today on my way home I saw one little patch of blue. For some reason that is often enough to give me a respite for a little while and it immediately lightens my mood.
