Today is the summer solstice - the longest day of sunlight for us here in the northern hemisphere. But could it signify more? Take a little deeper look with me (you know how I love to analyze and re-analyze and then analyze some more!), and maybe you'll find a thought that relates to your personal life. Many different peoples and places celebrate the summer solstice in different ways - one I found interesting was the dancing around a maypole. Whole communities doing this. Interesting, traditional, and I think, kinda fun. Anyway, this day is giving way to warmth, sunshine, a new season of crops and plants growing - we flourish in the growing season. We pull the weeds out and encourage our plants to grow and produce. So today might be a good day to evaluate other things in your life. Are there "weeds" in your life - things that no longer serve you and the goals of where you are headed? Today would be a good day to let go of those things. It's a day of new beginnings - start that diet, start that exercise program, set that goal, stop that habit - whatever it is you'd like to change, today might be a good day to start it. If you think all my ramblings are just that - ramblings of an over-analytical woo woo woman, so be it, but at least get out and enjoy the sunshine - it's here for the longest time today, waiting for you to come out, enjoy it, dance in it, swim in it's warmth and brightness! Enjoy this nice, looooooong, sunshiney day!
