It's been rather cold again around the first day of 2010 making it hard to get motivated to go outside. Our little dog, Lilly, doesn't seem to mind until she "locks up." I think her paws get cold making it hard to move and, forget standing or walking on all four paws.
There is a pleasure that comes with the contrast of bright sun on super cold days. While the days are short, and the sun travels low, the brightness that penetrates the house during the day alleviates some of the chills.
We are in the darkness of the year. It is a great time of year to think about how important light is to all mankind. Without light, life gets pretty dull and gloomy. I know I have a hard time keeping my motivation up when things are almost always dark. Going to work in the dark and getting home after dark is hard.
During this time, it is probably useful to reflect on sources of "light" in our lives. Also, it is a time to reflect on how we are being "light" for others.
Be a beacon!
