The waning day

If you couldn't tell from the dropping temperature that autumn had arrived, the fast-setting sun has now become a daily reminder. While I enjoy the cooler days, the added darkness is a bit depressing. I love getting home, going to the gym, and getting back home before the sun sets. Now, that's not possible. The day won't be as long as it was today until mid-March. Alas, I see a lot fewer trips to the gym and a lot more evenings at home writing and reading; and hitting the town for an after-work cocktail. Cosmo, please. I guess the longer nights do have their benefits.

I get depressed with the waning days, too. Autumn would be so wonderful if it weren't followed by hiemal misery. I try not to notice too much, though. Like when Daisy Buchanan in the Great Gatsby says, "I always watch for the longest day in the year and then miss it." Each season extinguishes itself for the next but always returns...so we should all toast that cosmo to cooler days, longer nights, and scrape whatever enjoyment we can from this time of year.
