Winter Solstice -- the Longest Night

“I will love the light for it shows me the way. Yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars.” – Og Mandino



 
 
“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” - Albert Camus

    Beautiful winter photo. The quotes are they from a quotebook or do you know them all by yourself?

      I have collected quotes over the years for inspiration. I also used them a lot in my classroom (I taught high school writing and literature for many years). And I'm always look for new ones!

    Winter makes us appreciate summer more!
    I love the changes. Freezing rain today. Not good.

    Lovely photo and quote. We are lucky to be having the longest day and as we are in southern Australia at the moment the days are much longer than at home. It is strange for us to see the sun shining at nine at night.

    I put on a fire last night, afraid we were losing power! So far, so good. Knock wood!
