The Light

Dear Friends,

Tomorrow is the winter solstice…the shortest, darkest day of the year and the ushering in of a new season and the return of the light.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how we combat that physical darkness.  This time of year many put up brightly colored lights and decorate our houses.  Sure, those actions come with a certain amount of stress and rush, but for many the act of decorating and celebrating is a balm and a way to combat a dark time in the year.

Earlier this week, a friend and I were driving home on a dark and rainy night.  As we were driving, a brightly lit jeep came up beside us.  It was top to bottom covered in lights, a beacon of light and color in a dark and stormy night.  It was a lot, there is no doubt that it was a lot…and it just made me smile, it made me happy to see that brightly colored and lit up…one might say gaudy…jeep.

My dear friend, if your particular  season is slanting towards a bit of darkness, I hope that you can find pockets of light, color, brightness and joy amidst that darkness.

Have an amazing week my friend.

Love
Krista
