November has drawn to a close... The leaves have all fallen from the trees leaving them barren skeletons of a green summer's past. There is no turning back and we must face December's blast. The last of November has arrived.

Why do we dread so much the end of this month? Is it because of the cold? Or the prospects of harsh snow and ice to come? Are we in a tail spin over what to buy for everyone for December's holidays? Or is it that we have lost our ability to hibernate and forget the bleak and dark days to come?

We have reveled in the warm glow of Spring with its buds and blooms then smiled wistfully at the warm haze of memories from Summer. The halcyon Fall didn't prepare us for this last day of November and it's bitter bite of wind and damp. Can we keep in mind the glories of the seasons past while Winter hems us in?

December is but a few hours and a sleep away. We will celebrate the shortest day of the year and say prayers that the light will return. We light candles and decorate trees with strings of colored lights to send our orations up to the Universe.

Be strong on this last day of November... We have but three weeks to endure and then, minute by minute, day by day, we will have more light and eventually warmth. This last day of a stark month can be a celebration of what is to come!
