I sooooo love and enjoy
the Winter Solstice! Still,
I must admit, the day after,
the day in which the days
begin to elongate, are a
promise that brings hope
to my soul!
"The days get longer by
an average of 2 minutes
and 7 seconds every day
after December 21."
The Scotsman
Not quite certain how
all of this was arranged,
but to combine coldest.
darkest days of winter
with the promise of
returning light . . .
quite genius.
It has been suggested
that winter is a good to
hunker down, have a
good look-see into the
soul and think about
all things important.
I like that! Rather gives
some personal meaning
to these cold, dark days.
I tend to think of this as
a kind of spiritual hiber-
nation, as it were.
Maybe this winter, instead
of all the usual moans and
groans, I'll make an effort
to do some serious thinking
and learn a thing or two.
I actually rather like the
idea of sussing things out
and determining to up my
standards rather than
drowning in the mire of
below freezing weather!
Today, with my additional
two minutes, I'm going to
snuggle in and think happy
thoughts! Wonder if a hot
something or other would
help?!
