I've been in this house for 8 years now and maybe because I haven't really been in the bedroom at sunrise in the winter since we had the attic space turned into the master bedroom (I've been getting ready for work, driving to work or at work) I never noticed what's happening now.  Shortly after dawn, the sun, heading towards midwinter, rises above the external HVAC box on top of city hall, and shines directly through my front window straight through to the garden window in the back of the house.

Today, the light just shaved a bit of a corner of a wall and the top 1/3 of the window was passed through to the other window. I'm expecting a direct pass through in a matter of days, and continuing for maybe the next month.

It's not as accurate as a stone circle might be, but it's pretty damn cool all the same. The occurance only lasts for 15-20 minutes at most, and there can't be any clouds, or that wrecks it.

This was taken on 1 Dec. The light has moved a bit further since then. (panoramic photo showing both front - left - and rear -right- windows)

Wow. Beautiful, impressive, typical and yeah - pretty damn cool alright ;-D!

You and your dream house (and family) are something of a borderline fairytale to me anyway. I can hardly believe that I was there and you all really exist :-p.

Okay, maybe that's a teensy bit exaggerated, but there is a lot of truth to it.
That you can be so talented, ambitious and still so full of soul and creativity - I certainly wouldn't believe it without having met you. Something to aspire to in another incarnation, or something...

Thank you for thinking of me that way. I don't feel very talented, ambitious, creative or soulful right now, most likely because of the stage of grief I'm in over losing my job. I'm bouncing between anger and depression. Finding it hard to motivate myself to hunt up work today.

Please, please don't let it get to you so...!
Easier said than done, I know. But: Remember how you often HATED that job? How you needed time for your own, felt overworked etc?

Now's your chance. You have earned a time-out! So give yourself one.

Job-hunting sucks, as I completely know.
Here's how I do it: I'll get onto the platforms whenever I feel a minimum of "motivation" but never spend more than half an hour on them any given day. Whenever I find anything remotely possible, I apply. (I have to, for the RAV!) Sometimes there are three on a day, more often, there is none.
As soon as I'm off the platforms again, I completely forget the task. (I'm a very fast reader, so whatever comes in will still be there and get scanned three days later ;-).)

Take it as a "sport". They're all arseholes anyway and just want to exploit you. So everyone who doesn't want to talk to you - good riddance to them :-p. It's not you, personally, that's getting rejected anyway.

You are quite bloody awesome! Anyone who doesn't notice is just not worth your attention :-D!!

*hugs*
