Blessed Winter Solstice

Today marks Winter Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, the shortest day and longest night. It’s the time to celebrate the return of the Sun’s warmth and light, and the promise once again of a productive Earth. Yule logs are burnt and gifts are given.
I’m celebrating this year with some quiet introspection, enjoying being pregnant and getting ready to bring our little bubba into the world soon. I also thought it would be the perfect time to look back over my 100 things list.

  1. Wow, I have never thought to make a list like this. It seems like a very inspiring thing to do, though I think I would be a bit disheartened if I didn’t do everything on the list. You seem to be doing really well so far!

    1. Thanks Malinda. I’ve been making these lists for a few years now & don’t think I’ve ever done all 100 things 😉 Lots of fun trying though 😀
