Update, the days are Noticably longer and February just arrive today!!!!

I like positive thought, it’s such a refreshing change around here, in the deep dark December days!

I can appreciate your thought for those who live in the "North", but for me it is the opposite. In S.E. Florida right now, the sun is out, temps today will be in the mid-70s and gorgeous. After 12/21, we move closer to longer days and hotter temps. I will keep more whining to myself.

I'm heading to the Pacific Northwest for winter solstice and will spend those short dark days in the greater Seattle area. I remember every year living there and how I would perk up when the sun started getting closer, could feel it in my mood and energy level.

That is still four weeks to get back to the starting point. Sad, cold, dull wet and grey here. Not asking for sympathy just saying. Keep warm, and dream of sipping coffee outside in the sun.

I live in far West Texas, and we still had 70 and above degree weather here, finally had a cold front! I'm not ready for spring yet!
