Days Are Still Awfully Short


 Another Year Has Slipped Away
And here we have another open thread!

   My initial thought last night was that it's always night in space. But maybe that's wrong. In photos it looks dark out there. Maybe it only seems dark.
   Maybe sunny days and nearby light are special gifts given to us, right here, on this planet, surrounded by that apparent darkness.
   I do know that we await longer days and spring quite eagerly. 

   What a heartbreakingly beautiful planet we have been given to live on.

   Summer or winter, night or day, He is with us.

What Say You?
