Spreading love, joy, peace, faith & unity

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.”

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
