Today marks the winter solstice. Ever the optimist I find more energy knowing that the days are getting longer with daylight.
Today Kuopio, Finland has a whopping 4 hours and 46 minutes of daylight.

Minneapolis has almost twice that amount. This is something that we will need to lean into, especially when we arrive. I am looking forward to the Finnish sauna culture.
