Hey Gang!
Well, Happy Winter, Happy Solstice! Finally, the days begin to become longer again! Do any of you have any special traditions for this day? If you do, I would love to hear about them, Please post a comment below, and we can get a little conversation going about this special time of the year! I personally go out and collect all my bird feeders, wash them out, clean them up, repair if needed, and fill them up right full with fresh, wonderful seeds. I also get my suet feeder out, and fill that as well. If I need to, I run down to the hardware store and get enough bird seed and suet to last me a while. Gotta take care of those little birdies!
I found this poem about Solstice that I wanted to share with you all 😉
Light and Love

Winter Wishes
by Ray Cruz
Let the first snow of winter
Cleanse the wounds in your heart
From conflicts and hardships of the year.
Let the heavenly showers
Clear the air and freshen your view
Of the world around you.
Let the brisk sounds and scenes
Of the holiday season
Pace the rhythm of your step.
Let your soul be uplifted
With the sparkle of children
Enjoying the surprises of winter’s antics.
Let your heart be filled
With the peace of an infant's succor
From her mother's breast.
Let peace in your heart
Free you from doubts and fears
And spread your warm feelings to those near to you.
Let peace in your heart
Open the door to love
And reveal the true delights of the human experience.
Let there be peace on earth,
The purest peace of innocence,
And let it be born in your heart.
