The beginning of the end

Have you stopped to think that maybe we should think differently about summer and winter?

We tend to hate winter and love summer. Fair enough; I am pretty much in that boat too. Still, it occurs to me today, now that summer 2020 is actually begun, that we're on the downside of the year.

Give it a thought. With the first day of summer we've had the longest day of the year. The days get shorter and shorter and shorter until, you guessed it, winter. But when winter starts we're on the upswing. After the first day of winter days start getting longer. We've bottomed out. We're not at the end of things but the beginning of them.

Or do you care, and I'm just overthinking it?
