Winter Solstice Reflections

Winter arrived in the Rocky Mountains this morning with a gentle blanket of snow. Today, Winter Solstice marks the shortest day, the welcoming of winter.

A quote from John Steinbeck, “What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness?”

Solstice acrostic

Snow and darkness

On this day we celebrate the new season

Longer grow the days for the next six months

Savor the change of seasons as a time for reflection

Take time to appreciate the dark through sleep or meditation

I embrace the rhythm of the seasons

Celebrate winter for its beauty

Energy is renewed as take time for comfort by the fire.

I'm a reading specialist from Chicago, now living in the beauty of the Roosevelt National Forest in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. My first book "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" features a creative and curious girl who loves science, her little brother, and her very patient parents. I'm currently writing a MG novel and several picture books with STEM elements and dogs.
