Endings and Beginnings

 


December 2021 has arrived. It happened overnight when November slipped into history and December arrived with the stroke of midnight.

And the frenzied shopping season will definitely ramp up now. 

As the dark season ramps up, we are down to 9 hours and 36 minutes of sunlight per day. There are about 11 more minutes per day to lose before the solstice and light begins to return.

And so it is interesting that as November has ended, December began, but December is in itself an ending. 

It is that circle of the calendar and the year. 

But as many know, this December is special as when the month ends I will transition from full-time employment into some form of retirement. And warmer weather in Florida at least for the Winter, and Autumn, and maybe Spring.
