2011 Ends 2012 Begins
May everyone feel peace, joy, health and prosperity over the holiday season. Treasure the time with loved ones, not the material gifts and things. Treasure good food, warmth and a roof over your head. Be aware and thankful we still have freedom to choose.
Winter solstice is Dec 21st or 22nd which is the shortest day of the year. This is when the sun is the greatest distance from the equator. The days start getting longer and brighter. Winter gives the soil and ourselves a rest and time to renew energy. Time to summarize 2011 and plan or dream for 2012.
We spend time in the barn hoof trimming and making sure there are no drafts for the kids when it gets very cold. It feels so great to be able to relax and not have to rush for deadlines. This year we may not be surrounded by pure white and it certainly does not feel like winter or Christmas, however, looking at all the green ground and black soil gives me visions of growing again.
