Winter Solstice
“People don’t notice whether it’s winter or summer when they’re happy.” – Anton Chekhov
“In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.” – Albert Camus
Winter solstice reminds us that all of our days are short. Choose your thoughts, words and actions with careful consideration and careless generosity.
Each day, there are people who need our kindness, compassion, attention, patience and understanding. Without judgment, measurement or reserve, give yourself away to make each moment better, filled with joy and delight.
Shine your light bright through every season. Our love is depleted when we don’t give it away. The more you give away, the more will return to you.
“Winter came down to our home one night
Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow,
And we, we were children once again.” – Bill Morgan, Jr.
Beautiful quote by Camus, too.
Reblogged this on Linda's New Garden & Wildlife Journey and commented:
GREAT POST
Thanks for the reblog.
Love that Albert Camus quote!
Kathie,
Thanks for post my favorite quote by Camus. It has a perennial spot on my bulletin board and NOTHING ever covers it up! It helps me tolerate the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual faces of winter.
Keep that summer at the lake view. Thanks Julie.
What a wonderful post. Your line: “Our love is depleted when we don’t give it away” is very wise indeed. Loved the quotes as well. Thanks! : )
Thanks for your kind comments. A reminder I need each day.
