This winter solstice has found me crabby and tired. Is it because I am burnt out by the holiday season? Is it because the days are so short and cold? Is it just because I have found a new bad attitude that I really don't care to change? Probably all of the above depending on which minute of the day it is. Whatever the case may be, I have not found the inner peace and outward tranquility necessary to enjoy the solstice this year.
Although, it was kind of pretty walking home from work today. The snow can be beautiful when it isn't icy or blowing in your ears and eyes. The way new fluffy snow looks like icing on evergreens is enjoyable. It was a bit peaceful when I could tune out the sound of snowblowers.
So maybe I did find one minute today when I enjoyed the solstice. I give in. Thank goodness it is over - too much pressure.
