Here in the Northern Hemisphere, Happy Winter Solstice, the day of the year with the shortest amount of sunlight in the northern half of the earth. A lot of people call it the shortest day of the year, - today has 24 hours like every other day in our measured days. What is different is the amount of time the sun is above the horizon.
I am doing better this year, than I have in the past, but I really don't like this time of the year. I don't like leaving the house for the office in the dark, and returning home from work in the dark. Honestly, I spend fewer hours in the office in the dead of winter, if I can.
Starting today, we will gain a few minutes of sunlight each day, until about six-months from now we will have the day with the longest time for the sun to be above the horizon. I look forward to that day.
Are you a winter or a summer person?
SUMMER, SUMMER, SUMMMER, SUMMER!!!!! Hotter the better, who needs clothes I say.
ReplyDeleteSummer! We used to hate the darkness of New England winters. To work in the dark and back home in the dark. Much easier to survive this time of year in a warmer climate.
