Optimistically Speaking

Today the sun rose at 7:55 a.m. Then, after offering us a mere 8 hours and 25 minutes of daylight, it will set, at 4:20 p.m. (nice number)
This is how winter officially begins. OK fine, BUT the the days only get brighter and longer from here on out by one minute a day. The weather has been mild and with a little bit of luck we just might see Spring while waiting for Winter.

Just Around The Corner

Our children can make us cry.
Sometimes... we catch those tears,
in the corners of a smile.
