30. Summer solstice is bittersweet for me because

the daylight will begin getting shorter for the next six months, and I so love the long days and especially evenings of late daylight.

So I'll still enjoy each day in the present, and only gradually begin the shorter outdoor life, until at last, it can't be denied in Nov. & Dec.

For me, the winter solstice is a time of joy and expectation, when the days begin to lengthen and gradually get to the next June 21.
