Solstice Sunset

Soltice Sunset. Sunset come early around the winter solstice, but a winter walk will likely improve your mood and your health around the hectic holidays. (Tim Jones/EasternSlopes.com photo)

By the time you read this the shortest day of the year will have passed and the days will be getting incrementally longer. It’s going to take a few days to notice the difference.

Solstice is derived from the Latin Sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still). But just because the sun stands still at this time of year doesn’t mean you have to.
