Shortest Day (Susan Cooper)

So the Shortest Day came and the year died
And everywhere down the centuries of the snow‐white world
Came people singing, dancing,
To drive the dark away.
They lighted candles in the winter trees;
They hung their homes with evergreen;
They burned beseeching fires all night long
To keep the year alive.
And when the new year's sunshine blazed awake
They shouted, reveling.
Through all the frosty ages you can hear them
Echoing behind us ‐ listen!
All the long echoes, sing the same delight,
This Shortest Day,
As promise wakens in the sleeping land:
They carol, feast, give thanks,
And dearly love their friends,
And hope for peace.
And so do we, here, now,
This year and every year.
Welcome Yule!

Here is a good leg and hip exercise. Try to remain upright as you press your leg to the side so the target muscle is doing the work

Here is an exercise for your shoulders and arms. Plus it crosses the mid-line of your body which is good for your brain. Add a weight, if you want some extra challenge. Don't forget to Work Out Your Words!

Here is another exercise with Work Out Your Words. Great movement for calf strength and ankle flexibility.
