The shortest day of the year is December 21. The Blackfoot believe this day is the beginning to “back to home day” which is the longest day of the year, June 21, the summer solstice.
The winter we call beginning of home day in translating from Blackfoot to English is “the shortest day of the year”, is the beginning of solstice the new year that is the cycle of life, 100 Winters 100 Summers, and all we can do is the best that we can each day. When things are tough, hit them head-on, when things are good, count your blessings this will keep sickness at bay and maintain longevity in life.
Clear mind and a clear conscience is peace. You always give respect, that’s how you want be respected. When people don’t understand, listen and walk away. Any mistakes forgive yourself first and then you could forgive others.
A clear conscience is healthy and maintains a long life and memories.
When you cannot forgive yourself and others’ negativities. Illness will prevail, the people will avoid you, being alone is banishment you can only blame your self, denial, self pity, seek help from others and understand belonging is one of many answers to heal mental illness. A healthy mind is healthy body is family.
Confidence is everything we see is possible in your life.
