Daylight at Dinner

Today is the day I have been looking forward to for the past 4 months....The day that my life turns a page and is happier. The shortest day of the year!!!! For most of my adult life the Fall makes me depressed and unhappy...for me there is nothing worse than shorter days of daylight, cold days and nights, and eating dinner when it is dark outside. You see, I'm a gardening person. I love to have sunshine coming through my windows with my windows up. There is nothing more wonderful than the smell of your lawn being mowed for the first time since November. It's awesome to finally have the kids outside... playing and yelling instead of in the house!!! There is so much to look forward to from here on out...Christmas, New Years, my Birthday, Valentines Day, March Madness, Easter, and my clock being moved forward only to lose that hour of sleep. So here's to you Winter Solstice...you bring joy to my life and I will be toasting to you and the end of short days and long nights!!! Bring on the Champagne....
