Those of us who grew up in Saskatchewan take our beautiful northern lights for granted. Not so, those who live in other parts of the world! While we do appreciate their beauty and comment on the striking lights when we see them, we are not as awe-struck as others. People from around the world plan trips to the prairies, to Churchill and to Norway and travel to remote northern areas just to take in the sites of these mysterious lights. Saskatchewan is listed in most travel guides as being the best place in North America to see them, a fact most of us are not even aware of! I found this out by reading an article about the Norwegian northern lights! I guess when you grow up under something so beautiful, you do take it for granted. The next time the Northern Lights shine above you, take a moment to realize how fortunate we are to have such beauty in our skies. Loving our northern lights . . . it's a good thing!
