I had a dream the other night about sunshine and summer heat. I was laying on a rock in the sunshine. Every cell in my body was relaxed. It was June and I thought "hey, this winter passed by rather quick. It was not that tough..."
I woke up, realizing with a laugh that we are still in the middle of the darkness. It was such a humorous AND challenging dream. Many months to go before we can get the energetic infusion from the sun and nature.
So, how do you survive up here in the Nordic hemisphere? How do you keep your spirit up during these long, dark winter months?
