We enjoyed our Solstice eve with friends up on Monte Sano.
We had chili and sat around the big bonfire for a little while, with various folks walking to the fire now and then to drop in lists of things they wish to leave behind in the new year or wishes they hope are granted.
It was a very enjoyable evening, a calm and relaxing time, not a bad way to end the shortest day.

When I was 17, I worked out in the Beaverhead/Wisdom Ranger District one summer and the lady who headed up our group said that she set aside the Solstice to remember people who have moved through her life. As I drifted off to sleep last night, I tried to remember some of the more important folks who passed through and what they left me knowing.
Happy New Year!
