Light at the end of the tunnel

Monday, 6th January 8 am 

View from the Half Barn doors.

I love how this little project of taking a photo at a certain time each day is making me attentive to how the dawn is getting earlier. We now have ten minutes more each day of daylight since the Winter Solstice in December, which does not sound a lot but it does encourage me to be alert to that the longer days are on their way. It also stops me from getting fed up with the colder weather we need to get through before it gets warmer, which is important to me because our house does not have central heating and so does feel chilly in the mornings. Not to worry, the log burner heats the house up very well, and living in a house with does not have the drying effect of central heating is much healthier for us. 

There is always light at the end of the tunnel, dawn will always arrive, sometimes later sometimes earlier, but it will come. A bit like our lives really. When we are stuck in a hole and don't feel that we will ever get out of it, and things seem to be getting worse and worse, to keep hope that we shall rise up and conquer whatever it is that is getting us down. To keep hope alive, that is what we need to do, that light will come back into our lives, that all will be well even if, for now, the end of the tunnel seems to be far away in the distance. 

Bye for now,
