If you guessed Old Testament you would be wrong. Today we quote the Englishman Billy Shakes.
It’s been forty one days already since Thanksgiving. These days between Thanksgiving and the beginning of the New Year are always chaotic. Though we gave thanks together several weeks ago, January 4th is also a good day to be thankful.
Today is the Perihelion of Earth’s orbit around the sun. That means the earth is the closest it gets to the sun during the year. It’s always a couple weeks after Winter Solstice.
My mom would celebrate today with a bowl of oatmeal and a huge hug. Both symbolizing warmth….
“Hold close and be thankful for the love in your heart Pumpkinhead!”
Before we know it we will be blowing off fireworks celebrating the Fourth of July. It is also around the same time we celebrate Aphelion. The day the earth is furthest from the sun. That’s when my mom would take me for a soft serve and we’d remember the people who are no longer with us.
My mom loved the sun… every time I hear that Beatles song about the sun I think of my mom. So today have some oatmeal and hug someone you love….
Here comes the sun… do da do do… here comes the sun and I say, it’s alright!
