I'd lose my mind that far north in the winter. And thank you for teaching me a new word today (hygge)! I'll stick with my craic, though.<br /><br />~Michaeldoylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-45018822585856277052017-12-10T10:50:33.163-05:002017-12-10T10:50:33.163-05:00I might be one of the few followers of your blog t...I might be one of the few followers of your blog that has appreciated the sun's beam on our slightly tilted planet since I was a small child. My maternal grandmother, an immigrant from Norway and a December baby, was very aware of the light's wax and wane. I have been in Norway in November and can understand how precious each minute of sunshine is on the psyche. My grandmother would tell me how many minutes we gained or lost on a particular day, or how soon we would turn the corner toward the light. The appreciation\worship is ageless but the dawn of manufactured light made the understanding of it moot for many. Darker mornings now face us for another 12 days, but I will be dancing in the street when the early Christmas present arrives on the horizon. Solstice blessings await us.

I guess I need to watch the world a bit more closely :-)<br />I'm eagerly awaiting the winter solstice and the returning of the light. Shannon (@shauser)http://caravanista.netnoreply@blogger.com
