Happy Solstice

It is the winter solstice: the darkest day of the year. I never looked at it that way, though. I always saw it marking the beginning of days lengthening again, a kind of pre-herald of hope.

This year, it is also one of the brightest days I've had in a while, as far as good news goes. I have an interview tomorrow with a local stenography firm for a full-time proofreader position! They sound almost already decided on hiring me, making tomorrow's meeting the final thing to "seal the deal," if you will. I'm so incredibly hopeful that everything will go well. This would be the answer to many prayers, from many people.

Please, Lord . . .
