Well it's the solstice..
And even though the worst is yet to come, we can all be happy that the days will now slowly start to get longer!

1. So, am I the only one who's excited about it?
The sun goes down at 4:20 pm here, it's depressing.

2. I'm glad you reminded me
it does stink to leave and come home in the dark.

I had to go in early one day this week - in by 6:45 AM. It was pitch black.
I miss summer ...

6. It's always been my special holiday, much more important
than Christmas. I so hate the dark.

Remember Fallujah

7. It is so depressing trudging to work in the dark
and returning home in the dark. Winter Solstice is such a day of hope. Cheers!
