I had been going great guns since my birthday several weeks ago and then something happened. I found it hard to get up and by evening I felt kind of lost. Well I guess my memory isn’t what it used to be because it finally dawned on my that this happens every year!  In the northeast October/November/December bring the darkest days of the year. And every year it takes me some time to get adjusted. So as much as I can, I will try to hold on to my regular routine and remind myself that it really doesn’t last long. December 21st is the shortest day and then it starts getting lighter every day. So if you are like me, hold on and find enjoyment in these days. Maybe a bit more meditation, quiet thought, sleep! Lots of activities that don’t need daylight. It’s yet another reminder that nothing lasts for ever!
