Happy Solstice!
This is always a bittersweet day for me. I'm definitely sad about the fact that the days will lengthen now, but I treasure the darkness that we have in such abundance at this time of year! whether you're celebrating the abundant darkness, the return of the light, or simply Tuesday, I hope you have a wonderful day!

Merry Solstice!!
Thank you!
People usually think I'm nuts, but sometimes I come across someone who feels the same way :-)
Hey, like me! This is a sad day for sure. Being as I'm inside so much of the time the awareness of the changes elude me most of the time until there's a marked difference in sunset and things like that.
I feel a kind of let-down when it switches back because with the light comes the heat and sun and both are also difficult for me in general and it all raises my systemic inflammation. I haven't let myself check into it too much just from the fear of knowing, but have you noticed whether the light season lasts longer? I've looked at calendars that show the 'hours of daylight through the year' thing but while they seem to want to show it as 'being fairly even' it doesn't feel even to me.
I really need to move to 'one of the dark nations' like where I used to live. They always act so inconvenienced and morose about it but for me it was great even before I got sick. It must have come from some predisposition toward it, which seems to just prove my 98% scandi-ancestry.
I'm sorry for this loss and I hope the time flies quickly back to the season that is more comfortable for us!
I am still on Alaska seasonal time myself! I loved it! Didn't have any seasonal issues until we left there!
Oh that's interesting! Hmm. I suppose mine weren't as bad until I was sick but I always enjoyed the coziness of the darker season of the year.
