Description Tomorrow is the shortest day – and the longest night!

This time of year does not hold good memories for many of us – it is a time when we celebrate a ”birth” – but for so many of us it has also been a time of very deep losses and pain… But the darkest hours are just before the dawn!

So I share this piece with all of you as a “gift of light” in the greatest wish that you will have the best of things in your life and your growth will be both illuminating (thus the picture) and also full of love and joy. The following words come from “The Only Thing That Matters” by Neale Donald Walsch:

“If you’ve ever spent an evening saying a final good-bye to a dearly loved one, you know that the minutes go by oh, too fast. If you’ve ever spent even a few seconds looking deeply into your beloved’s eyes, you know that time can stand still. Thus a few seconds can seem like an hour and an hour can seem like a few seconds. It is their content that produces our experience of their length.”

May your most treasured memories last you forever – and may they be filled with a love so divine that they will be with you for an eternity – for I am so lucky; I have some such memories – and I wish the same for each of you as well…..

thanks for sharing your thoughts, Mel. it makes me stop by and I suddenly remember, when all of our family met at my grandparents house on Christmasday. They liked to decorate the rooms with really colourful things and every year there were two christmas bulbs on the deer antlers hanging on the wall. That always made me smile. I miss them, but it`s a long time ago. I wish you a fine Christmas time and a happy New Year
