“Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn.
The sun is but a morning star.”
-Henry David Thoreau, Walden
Today is the Winter Solstice and the elements of nature representing this day are fire and water. Fire, to remind us of the returning warmth of the sun. Water to remind us of the stillness of the longest night of the year. Together, they bring JOY in the wonder of the present moment of this blazing sunrise over the calm ocean. The Winter Solstice brings JOY with the promise of longer days, renewal and connecting with the cycle of rebirth. A new day dawns, bringing with it the JOY of new beginnings.
Is there a time of day – morning, noon or evening – that brings you the most JOY?
Today, pause in your JOYFUL time of day to appreciate that gift.
My favorite part is morning. The sun on your face and another day to be alive to be with those I love.
Oh my most joyful time of the day is in the quiet of the morning, with my cup of coffee outside on the porch before anyone else wakes up. My hello to being blessed with another day ❣️
