I Love The Dark

I’m so glad that Daylight Savings Time is over. I really don’t like it. I prefer the natural time. And I really, really really badly hate the spring forward. I have a hard enough time getting up in the morning anyway. Having to get up an our earlier is just murder on me.

When I was a kid I spent a lot of time up at night with my Dad looking at the starts. I have wonderful memories of that. It was a great time and I love the stars, and the dark. They are my friends. And so even to this day I feel comfortable at night. Relaxed and safe and cozy. I had great times with the Astronomy club and with my Dad and I look back at those memories very fondly. And since I get up so early for work, now, I don’t stay up late in the summer anymore. So the only time I get to enjoy the dark is in the winter when the days are short and the nights are oh-so-nicely long!

So now I go to bed early, except when I go on vacations but heck, even then I go to bed early, even at a disney resort if I ever go to one of those again! But I so love the long dark nights. Great memories, great feelings, peace and coziness and security. That is what the long dark nights mean to me.
