Well, I don't mind the sun rising later in the morning and not shining in my eyes at 5 a.m. But I get depressed as I see the sun setting noticeably earlier. I used to be able to sit out on the patio reading until 10 and now it's more like 9.

Hiya BetterMost friends.
TGIF to you all! *looks at clock* just a few minutes left to the work day, and then I can shut down for the weekend. ;D
We got word today that we will no longer be reporting to work in September as originally planned, but rather waiting until January of 2021.
No major plans for the weekend, so I can just chill out, which is always good. This evening is grocery pick up time, so I'll have to make sure I have my mask handy.
I was going to say "remembering Rich today", but I remember him daily.

I like it when it gets darker. LOL I think that perhaps I shouldn't have been raised in the Catholic religion, but rather the Wiccan religion.
I enjoy marking the time through the year, and the Wiccan religion has all of its holidays on what I call 'seasonal marks'.
Yule: Celebrated at the Winter Solstice, Yule is the celebration of the Goddess giving birth to the God.
Imbolc: Celebrated on February 2, it is the time when the first plantings of spring crops occur. It is also considered to be a time of spiritual cleansing and renewal of vows.
Ostara: Celebrated at the Spring Equinox in March, this sabbat represents a new beginning partly because it marks the beginning of longer days and shorter nights. It also marks the union of the God and Goddess and therefore symbolizes fertility.
Beltane: Celebrated on May 1, it represents the end of the planting season and the beginning of harvesting. It also represents fertility, as the celebration often involves loosened rules for fidelity.
Litha: Celebrated at the Summer Solstice, this sabbat represents the peak of the God's strength. It may involve lighting large bonfires to ward off evil spirits.
Lughnasadh: Celebrated on August 1, this is a time when the Goddess turns over control to the God. It is a time of feasts and craft festivals.
Mabon: Celebrated at the Autumn Equinox, Mabon represents the balance between light and dark, as it is the day that nights start becoming longer than days. It is officially the Pagan day of Thanksgiving.
Samhain: Celebrated on Halloween, Samhain means the end of summer and the beginning of winter. On this night, the dead are said to be able to communicate with the living in order to be with and celebrate with their families.
