A Short Winter Day

Tis the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere.  A short day when the sun stands still then begins to return making days longer and warmer.

Shortsighted

I laugh at myself as a short person writing about a short day.  As one close to the ground, who is shortsighted I seek the little things.  The solstice reminds we have limited time and light to work with.

Short walk

With the cool morning it takes willpower to I break free from the doonas clench to walk into a new day.

The reward Vitamin D, endorphins, fresh air, a dog walk on a short day.

Short talk

Even with the solstice I shorten my day with agendas to be acted on pronto before the sun sets. I loose the moments of being present to the beauty before me, spontaneous time with friends and enjoying the life I am creating.  A short self pep talk.

Short stop

A short day to remind me of the fickleness of finite time.

What do I waste my time and energy on?

What and whom do I want to spend my time with?

What am I short of ?

What is my abundance?

 

Sun stops

As the sun disappears into the ocean I sigh as a day ends, grateful for this day of winter solstice.

 

A short sweet ending

Despite what the world news is today there is no shortness of love, hope and dreams amongst people.
