And, my mind is calm and when I close my eyes I can see a blue sky with the fluffy, white clouds slowly drifting along.]]> 2016-07-06 20:21:06 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_stimpson/habitsofmind/wish/116022350 Sleepy, pillowy clouds for Ms. Hope                  I select clouds that beacon me to sleep like a huge down comforter atop a memory foam mattress. Feeling so sleepy... https://padlet.com/karen_stimpson/habitsofmind/wish/116378694 2016-07-14 02:01:52 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_stimpson/habitsofmind/wish/116378694 Bluish-gray storm clouds for Mrs. Morris https://padlet.com/karen_stimpson/habitsofmind/wish/116590381 I love the rain. I love anticipating the rain when the sky fills up with storm clouds. Right now, I am anticipating with excitement a trip to visit my very best friend and her baby, who I haven't yet met. It is the same feeling of excitement that I have whenever it is about to rain. (P.S. I bet you thought my mood was stormy based on my title... Surprise!)]]> 2016-07-19 01:31:36 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_stimpson/habitsofmind/wish/116590381 Rosy Clouds for Mrs. Bell joanne_bell https://padlet.com/karen_stimpson/habitsofmind/wish/116931679 I love golden, rosy clouds that reflect the gorgeous, setting sun. Their beauty always stops me in my tracks.]]> 2016-07-25 14:52:54 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_stimpson/habitsofmind/wish/116931679 Grey, still, heavy clouds for Mrs. Larson emily_larson https://padlet.com/karen_stimpson/habitsofmind/wish/117116632 This sounds like I might be feeling down based on the description I gave, but these are my favorite type of clouds. I love when the whole sky is grey and still. Everything seems calm and quiet. You can sense the heaviness above you, and when those first few drops fall it feels like the clouds sigh with relief. After anxiously awaiting little Oakley's arrival for nine months, I am also feeling a sense of relief and peace. (P.S. I went back and read the other responses after I wrote down my own thoughts... KC, it sounds like you and I think alike). :)]]> 2016-07-28 03:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_stimpson/habitsofmind/wish/117116632
