Early Sunset

Today was the first full day of Daylight Savings Time where we turned the clocks back, or as some would say, 'Fall back'. Did you notice that the sun rose a lot earlier this morning? More noticeably, did you notice how early the sun set today? It was pitch black out by 5:15/5:30PM! And so begins the early darkness of each day until December 22nd. But, does this mean that we have to let it 'get us down'? Nope! For us, it is a great event which puts things into perspective. It helps us to make the most out of each day before we have hunker down and take it indoors. This is a great metaphor for life. We only get so many days on this Earth before we 'hang it up', as they say, and go for an eternal slumber of our physical selves, and an eternal awakening of our souls. So, we ought to use the time we have to the best our abilities while we still have it. To some, this might seem depressing. But, for us, it's a blaring reminder that our time is finite, so we might as well live it to the fullest. Get on out there and live in the light as much as you can!
