Sun and Smooth Drives

It's winter... and much like it happens in Colorado in February and March, it's snowing.

I don't honestly mind the snow, but I'm not incredibly fond of being cold - and lately the snow has come with a decent amount of cold. 

One thing I've always loved about Colorado and its snow is that it might snow for a day or two but it all melts within a day after that because the sun is faithful. The past couple of weeks, though, it has snowed, melted, snowed, melted, snowed, snowed again, and again... and it's actually been a little stretch without as much sun. So today I gladly welcome the return of the sun.

It's easy to forget how much we love something, but I think I will always be thankful for the sun. Even when I was in a warmer spot a little over two weeks ago I found myself in a moment of thanks for the sun and its warmth.

So on a somewhat related note: the sun melts the snow, which helps people make their commutes without fear. The commute I make to work a few days a week is daunting, stressful and exhausting. So in lieu of the fact the sun was returning, and the snow melting, today's drive was actually relatively smooth. And for that I'm incredibly grateful.
