Don't look now, but it's the summer solstice.

I just looked up the etymology. "Solstice" comes from Latin.  The "sol," as you might guess, means sun.  The rest come from a verb meaning to stand still.  Not sure if I entirely get it, for the summer or winter solstice, but I'm not complaining.

Anyway, enjoy all the sunlight.  As I've noted in the past, you should feel optimistic all year 'round.  For six months, the days are getting longer, and for six months (with a three-month overlap) the days are over 12 hours.  And during the three months after September's equinox, while the days are short and getting shorter, you've got Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas to look forward to.

Celebrations of the summer solstice go way back, before recorded history.  After all, different cultures have different stories, but they've all got the same sky. Well, they've got the same sun and moon, anyway.

So go out and do something that requires sunlight.  You'll never have a better day for it.
