A Time of Reflection...

At last, the winter solstice is upon us, the time to breathe a collective sigh of releif and wish that the beiginning of lengthening days did not also hail the beginning of winter. The beginning of coffee getting cold if you forget about it for a few minutes. The beginning of not being able to pretend your feet aren't cold while you walk around barefoot. The beginning of planning your worst-ever case of Spring Fever.

But let us not forget the true meaning of the solstice. It is to google "solstice" for yourself and find out.
