We turned our clocks back reluctantly last night.
It’s the end of Daylight Savings Time for 2020.
It was dark here in Montana by 4:30 this afternoon.
I’m ready for it to be the end of 2020 – PERIOD!
I am not looking forward to these next couple of weeks.
Tuesday is election day in the USA –
but millions cast their ballots early.
I am among them.
I do not expect to know the outcome of this election
until all absentee ballots are in and counted.
It could be weeks… if not months.
I expect it to be contentious.

So, to keep myself from falling
Into a mood as dark as the early sundown,
I decided to focus on the October Take-Aways:
Daily Guideposts’ messages to carry with me.
Maybe these “Take-Aways” will help you, too.
Take one-a-day like a vitamin capsule,
And let them fill your dark spaces.
Let them shine light on this “Early Darkness.”

Lovely post Jan, delightful with so positive take aways to live by 😊 And you look so beautiful 😍❤️🤗
Thanks so much, {{{Samreen}}} …. You make me smile! <3
I hadn’t realised it could take so long for the result to be known
It’s slower than molasses in January!!
Oh, dear.
Jan, thanks for sharing your take-aways. The final one reaches out as an exclamation point! With the time change, I will look forward to the early morning light arriving an hour earlier for a couple of weeks or so.
That early morning light seems later and later… Is it just me?
Thanks for sharing, Jan. Good to realize these dark days don’t have to keep us down. I had mine the day before, on Sunday.
We’re all entitled to a few dark days every now and then… especially in this climate!!
