The longest day of the year is actually one of my favorites if I am in the North or South hemispheres, as I know the days are gonna get longer and sunnier from here on out. It has been a recent thing for me to get involved in these cycles of nature, so I am still trying to figure it out. I have learned that taking lots of cod liver oil is a big help for me in these dark months as I have a tendency to get down without enough sunlight (vitamin D). The last 4 years have been quite a learning curve as I have had to have a winter once a year–something I only had to experience when living in NZ before (I was on the North Island so they weren’t very serious).
