that little censored light that sits atop the post at the end of my driveway turned on so early today. ugh. at 5:05pm dusk was starting to settle in and i noticed it was on. and so it will go, earlier and earlier each day, turning on even before i get home from work.
and now the countdown begins. the countdown to december 21 - winter solstice and the shortest day of the year. my love/hate feelings toward this day haven't changed much in years. hate it because my opportunity to breathe in that precious sunshine is so short that it's almost always missed, and love it because it means that the days only get longer from there on out. even if just by minutes, i know that we're climbing our way back toward longer days of sunshine and light and the blessing of being able to play more, do more, and see more with it.
yes friends, i love me some sunshine. i miss it during these darker hours...
