The Deepest Darkness Of the Year is Passing----Now What?

DID YOU KNOW THE LONGEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR IS COME AND ABOUT TO GO SLOWLY INTO THE ER...NIGHT?

What happens now? In a nutshell, for the next 17 days and nights, until exactly the 7th of January, days will get longer exactly 1 minute each day, only in the afternoons. Then starting January 7, daylight will increase 2 minutes each day--in the mornings AND afternoons. Once the two minute/per day commences, daylight in the northern hemisphere will increase one hour each month! No matter how cold, that extra daylight makes a profound difference on our mood, our outlook and ability to see hope in the days to come. So happy winter solstice! It's only getting better from here. If you're having a bit of a down time, don't forget to get out and exercise, take some vitamin D and get sun in your eyes. Every little bit helps.  Oh, and cut down on the carbs, sugar and booze.  It does make a difference.
