Happy Yule

In the northern hemisphere this marks the shortest day and longest night of the year.  The solstice occurs at 11:30pm cst tonight.  Tomorrow the sun will set one minute later than it does today.  Bang your drums and light your candles in the morning before the dawn to call back the sun.  It works.  Really.  Try it:)

I wish you all a blessed solstice.  As our days get longer, I hope that all our lives are also filled with light and love.

I have a few days left to spend here with my mom, then I'm heading back to Utah.  I'm going to take some time off blogging to get reacquainted with my sweetie, take down the Halloween decorations that are still up at home, squeeze my cat, and ponder the new year that awaits us.  Have safe and happy holidays, however you celebrate them.  I'll see you next year!
