Days get brighter, just wait

My first time in a Neolithic tomb was eye opening.

On one day - one day only - the sun shines over the hill, through the lintel above the entrance and shines into the chamber. That one day is the solstice: December 21st.

It’s a reminder that as it gets colder and the days get shorter, there is a point where it changes. Things get brighter and warmer.

Neolithic people used it to mark the end of winter and the coming of spring.

As we reach the solstice, what is the thing that reminds you that things get better? What reminds you that no matter how cold or dark it is, things will change. Summer will be here.

Brighter days are always ahead. Look for the reminders.
