I know I am 2 days late but I have to shout out how excited I am for the winter solstice to begin. Finally, the days start to get a little longer. It may be incremental bits more of sunlight, but I will take it. I definitely didn’t understand this when I was in Chicago and always said I hated winter. Because of the solstice, I absolutely love it.

Fall is my favorite weather season but it makes me sad when the days get to be so short. When it is dark when I wake up and dark when I get home from work. I’m constantly sleepy and ready for bed at 7 pm. I have a “happy lamp” that is meant to provide the good UV from the sun at your fingertips but I always forget to use it in the fall.

Winter in Colorado is beautiful, especially in the mountains. Yes, there is snow, but the snow here is different. It is powdery and blows in the wind. In the midwest, the snow is heavy and wet. I didn’t know snow could be so different until I moved to Colorado. It turns out that I actually don’t hate winter or snow, I just don’t particularly care for it in the midwest when I have to walk to and from work. 🙂
