Summer has left the country and winter has finally arrived. Hurray! The weather had started changing in early November (I think), but it was only this morning as I was waiting at the bus stop when I truly felt that the cold season had really started. For one thing, it had rained earlier (and it rained again later this morning); for another, the winds were strong and cool. Even while I'm typing this, one of the windows in our office room is open and all of us are enjoying the fresh air. This is something we wouldn’t dare do during the summer.
Here are a couple of pictures I took of the changing sky while waiting for my ride.

As the rains poured heavily in different parts of the country this morning, it was announced that classes had been suspended and students were being sent home as a precautionary measure. Even some companies sent their employees home, allowing them an early start to the weekend. I can imagine them now sitting cosily on the couch or in bed with a bowl of soup or cup of hot chocolate. Lucky them.
Well, I may not be lying in bed right now, but I do have chocolate…a box of Belgian macadamia ones from Japan.
And these are the things I’m thankful to have experienced and received today.
