Yes, each day has 24 hours – and every good THPLer makes the most of each hour, every day - it is what we do. That stated it is nice to know that starting tomorrow we get a bit more daylight every day for the next six months. From dark to light, the day of winter solstice is a reminder that seasons and the sun affect our lives in many ways. And while darkness can change some of how we behave, we can think about how to leverage it to our advantage. Maybe the shorter days should be used for Learning and when we get to the longer days we can focus on Fitness. Might it be that we just take advantage of what we have in front of us? I know for sure if I was given a choice I would prefer more light in the day but since I really do not get a choice I must make the best of it. I need to think about what I can do to maximize both – light and dark and feel good about it. It is a good challenge especially as we enter the winter season which brings colder days, but that is a post for another day.

Loving life on the Winter Solstice
