The Time Is Short, Really

Today is the 21st of December, you know what that means?

That means that the shortest day of the year is today. That is right, winter solstice, is today. That means that today will have the shortest amount of daylight all year long. That also means that beginning tomorrow the days will begin to get longer, until my favorite time of year--the third week of June--when the daylight is the longest all year.

This is like the turning point of winter for me. Remind me that I said this when it gets to mid February and I think I am going to go postal due to the winter doldrums, but I think I can do this winter thing this year.

Nah, don't quote me on that.

This is one of my favorite days of the year! I would love if it stayed light from 6am to 9pm every night of the year. December 21 always makes me happy, because for the next six months, it only gets better and better!
