Hope for the future


 In six weeks (more or less) 
 the days begin to lengthen again.
I cling to that.

    I love how you say this each year, before I've even got used to dark evenings.

    lol i never get used to dark evenings, I think it's a holdover from childhood where it always came as a kind of curse--you didn't go out to play after supper, and it got cold. brrr.

    Christmas was the bonus, the longer days were the prize.

    I think it wouldn't be so bad, if they'd leave the time changes alone. that sort of brings it all down all at once, like a stage curtain.

    I hate these short days. It is dark by 5:30
    I like daylight savings time better than this.

      agreed. the dark seems darker and it always comes as a shock.

      years ago I had a little black cat who could tell time. Every morning he would wake me up at 4 AM by scratching at the bedroom door. He knew I had to get up anyway, and he was my alarm clock.
      He even adjusted for daylight savings time, and in all the time he did that, he never missed but once.
      And I just realized, when he got older he lost his sight, and when that happened he no longer woke me up at 4 AM...
