Before Sunset

There's a time when it doesn't seem like it's that late in the afternoon. Oh, you can tell if you look at the shadows, but it's so easy to get lost in the moment and assume the blue sky and bright light will last longer. But it is winter. The days are shorter. And it's much colder than it appears. I'm grateful for today's sunshine and the hope that each longer day brings as we move toward spring and summer. When the days are long and hot, I hope I'll also remember some of these short, crisp, sunny days of January.
