It is soon to be December 21, the Winter Solstice, when each succeeding day will be longer than the previous one. This is the one saving grace of Mother Nature. I am a sun lover and miss the daylight at 5pm outside and on June 21, in spite of the long sunshiny days, I feel a regret that from that day forward, the days will be progressively shorter. Until Dec. 21.
I probably feel this so profoundly because I was born and raised in Hawaii.

I can relate in a way. I'm not as much a fan of the sun as I am of warmth. I don't mind going to the grocery store when it is dark. I despise going when it is dark and cold.
At 5:00 PM today it was almost dark. Groceries can wait until tomorrow.
I really have more of a hard time with the long days in midsummer, when I have to go to bed with the sun still shining. I like it right around the equinoxes the best! :-)
I'm really hating these short days. I don't get the chance to see the sun during the day except for lunch, and when I get home it's cold and dark and I can't go out for a run. I'm forced to hit the gym and use the treadmills, which is less than ideal. Can't wait for the days to start getting longer!
Just a quick note to wish you a very Happy New Year! 2014...look out, here we come! :-)
Dear Herman
Happy New Year to you as well. Wishing you all my best.
