Happy winter solstice!
I know for many people this is the worst day of the year. It’s cold and it’s only going to get colder. Plus, the sun is out for a total of five minutes…or at least that’s what it feels like.
But it’s not all bad.
For one thing, it really hasn’t gotten that cold yet this winter. In fact, the majority of the US is seeing well above average temperatures. So, there’s at least hope that this winter won’t be as horrible as the past few.
Regarding the lack of sunshine, we’ve reached the darkest day of the year. It’s only going to get better from here.
If that doesn’t cheer you up, well then there’s always the winter solstice Google Doodle…
If that didn’t work, well…suck it up! Winter’s here whether you like it or not.
