This week we have the least amount of daylight for the year. Sunday is the Winter Solstice — the first day of winter. After that, we start back toward longer days and more sunlight.
While winter is not my favorite time of the year, there is beauty in the season and a certain coziness with coming inside out of the cold. So I’ll appreciate the gifts of winter and look forward to spring.
Happy Solstice!
Thanksgiving – fall’s finale. Best damn holiday of the year in my worldly estimation.

For those of you participating in NaNoWriMo this month, you could probably use a bit of inspiration right about now. Well, here is a quote below on novel writing, with a slight edit for clarity.
“E.L. Doctorow said once that ‘Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.’ You don’t have to see where you’re going, you don’t have to see your destination or everything you will pass along the way. You just have to see two or three feet ahead of you.” ~ Anne Lamott
