The shortest day of the year is coming soon in Canada with the Winter Solstice! This day has been traditionally celebrated to mark rebirth of the Sun with the days getting longer and new beginnings, getting rid of unwanted habits. I wonder if that is part of where everyone got the new year’s resolutions from. Heyyy it could be? I always just thought the Winter Solstice was just the shortest day. I had no clue that it had more meaning and celebrations and such. I know I have always felt kind of a Whew moment when I get past it so I could look forward to longer sunlight during the days. I think personally that any type of cause for celebration is usually a good one. Why the h.e.double toothpicks not? We have stuff going on in our lives and can always use a reason to lighten up…..just sayin!
Be sure to check the Community Events page here in the blue bar to see what other things are going on in the community and that of course includes celebrations! Of course you could just read a few more Tales from the bear… Or check out The Wells Gray Park and find a few more fun things.
A little time for reflection for us all. You have time to plan something still if you like……
