Winter Solstice


It’s a dark day in northern Indiana which somehow seems appropriate for today, December 21st, also known as the Winter Solstice marking the first day of winter.  

According to Wikipedia, The seasonal significance of the winter solstice is in the reversal of the gradual lengthening of nights and shortening of days.” Yeah! I have always liked the thought of the lengthening of day. Even though we’ve got plenty of winter ahead of us, for some reason I feel much more optimistic knowing that each day will be a bit brighter. The light (and certainly the sunlight!) makes the cold so much easier to bear.

Today is my brother-in-law’s birthday too. Happy birthday Ken! Check out their bike & ski shop, ProForm, located in South Bend. http://proformbike.com/

Stay warm & cozy, Liz
