What a perfect night to celebrate a holiday. It is the longest night of the year and it’s a downward slide toward spring and summer from here. It’s a night of sparkling lights, good cheer, family, fun, and love.

Happy Solstice, my friends.

While you may not celebrate the Solstice, I hope that the day brings you all of the joy you could hope for.

Tonight, I will be joining my brother’s family at his house for our Solstice dinner…turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, mashed potatoes, salad, and other goodies. Yum.

I will be surrounding by all of the little munchkins that I adore: Willow, Kooper, Justice, and Lillynn. I will get to watch them open their presents and will see their eyes light up as the paper comes off.

I will play board games with my family and laugh and have fun.

I will be smiling, feeling warm and safe in my world as the magic of the season descends upon me and surrounds me in love and life and laughter.

I couldn’t ask for anything more.
