Goodness and Light

It’s that time of year again, when the holidays come knocking and we’re all busy busy busy.
What’s that, you say? Must be time for a holiday round of quotes and pretty pictures? Right you are! I’ll get on that, and also dig through my special folder of fun and nonsense, looking for things that may excite and delight.
Whatever you’re planning in the next little while, I hope you have time for the sort of goodness and light we could all use these days.
Happy holidays!

Brighter Days Ahead

It’s that time again!
Yes, the darkest day of the year is here, but that means brighter days are ahead.
Sunday is the shortest day of the year north of the equator, where the solstice marks the start of astronomical winter.
That’s right, if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, today is the shortest day of the year. (And if you’d like a quick reminder of the astronomy of it all, this one’s helpful: December Solstice 2025.)
So light a candle (physical or metaphorical, your choice!), and look ahead to a brighter future.
