The shortest day and the longest night. The beginning of winter means a return to light.
It’s been bone-chilling cold with blizzard-like conditions. I’m dealing with a misery-making cold or flu. My holiday season to-do list remains mostly undone and my messy snow shovelling could use an edit. They moved my husband to a hospital much farther away and the roads are terribly icy. Meanwhile, the second batch of ginger cookies I made ended up spreading as bad as the first.
But today the sun is shining. Fresh snow looks brilliant and our Christmas tree looks resplendent. Plus, the no-bake batch of chocolate macaroons turned out! I’m hoping this darn cold makes me cold-proof for the rest of the season. Pass the tissue box!
Wishing you solace in solstice. Plus, good health, good friends, safe driving and the magic of story.
