Is there enough daylight in your life? (Winter solistice was Sat, 12/21)

In response to last week’s question, "Is there enough daylight in your life?,"  my friend Richard replied, "Never enough daylight. In fact, sometimes I feel like a mushroom. I’m kept in the dark, and every once in a while, a bunch of sh-t (natural fertilizer) is piled on top of me."  My equestrian friend Royce concurred, "I'm still trying to find the light of day."

My colleague Matt  responded, "No, there isn’t enough daylight.  Under 10 hours daylight to celebrate my birthday is definitely not enough time. And too cold at night…brrrr   More daylight = more time to get things done. Did you know plants release less oxygen during the night? That’s why everyone is so sleepy. Those who stay up all night are just…weirdos.  ;-)   "   My college roomie John remembered "Bill Withers sang, "Ain't no sunshine when she's gone"?  I think we can all use more sunshine."

My birthday bud Jon suggested, "If there's not, can we take it out from the bank where we put all that daylight we saved during Daylight Savings Time?  I mean, what’s the use of saving it if we can’t use it when we need it?

My engineering friend Steve solved this, "There is enough now since I put daylight LED’s al over my house."

My cycling friend Ted noted, "With my wife Carey in my life, there is eternal sunshine!!  And my dad's beach buddy Bob explained, "For me, toujour l'amour as soon as the sun goes down, but I don't like to barbeque in the dark."

My running friend Lesley observed, "There used to be enough daylight in my life because I never broke a bone in my body which means I was getting enough vitamin D from sun exposure. Now I'm not so sure as I broke a bone a few months ago. Or perhaps I am simply getting old."

My sailing and ecumenical friend Asif recalled, " driving in late to work on Friday, I saw the morning sky for the first time in 2 weeks.  Yes, day light, and not just a harried glimpse from the confines of thick glass walls of the hospital's walkway, but bathing me in its rays was the sun with only the air above me between me and it! It almost brought tears to my eyes. Not enough, is my answer."

Please share your thoughts about "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:

What other time of the year do people sit in front of a dead tree and eat candy out of your socks? 

Live well...laugh often and heartily.... have a good week and never regret anything that made you smile!

My IT friend from our 'bubble days in Silicon Valley' Eric replied to the earlier question about the duration of fruitcakes, "I would say that a fruitcake lasts as long as I leave it untouched on the counter."

For those celebrating Jesus's birth, have a Merry Christmas.  And for those that are not, think about going out for Chinese or Persian food.
