feeling down?

i know a lot of people get down this time of year. while i'm enjoying the holidays and time with family and friends, i've been feeling low myself. if you know me, you may not believe it, but it's true. i came across this quote which feels very appropriate:

if it weren't for the dark days, we wouldn't know what it is to walk in the light. --earl campbell

even in our worst moments we can keep that thought in mind. it doesn't always change my mood in the moment, but i try to get back to it later. in comparison to the number of dark days i have, my life is full of light ones. i hope your life is too.

peace on earth

whatever you believe at this time of year, we can all abide by science's winter solstice. yesterday was the shortest day of the year. we can all celebrate getting a little extra daylight everyday. i spoke about the mood enhancing properties of sunlight in an earlier post. here's to sunnier, happier days!

also, i want to wish us all peace on earth. i think we can all agree that the end of diminishing others/fighting/war would make the world a better place.

take a moment and listen for peace. it's out there. we have to keep listening and practicing it.

peace, love, and joy to all!
