Moon Magic
I've been a little bit sad lately. In a couple of hours, it will have been my mom's birthday. I always tried to make her birthday as special as she always made mine.
As March 4th is approaching, I have been trying to see beauty in the world as best I can....trying not to feel so alone despite all those that surround me.
Before Stu went out tonight to pick up dinner, he told me to come and look at the moon. It was indeed beautiful...in fact it was a lunar eclipse! He suggested that I take some pictures but I quickly told him that I have no ability to do that yet. Plus, I didn't feel like getting out the tripod. It wasn't worth the bother. And so he left and I went back inside the house.
In less than a minute, I grabbed my camera and went back outside...not even putting on a jacket. Sometimes impulses cannot wait for practicalities.
My mom and step father were always quick to point out all the incredible wonders in the sky. As I took some pictures, I felt oddly connected to my mom...and it comforted me for a while.
I came inside and immediately loaded the photos onto the computer. You can't even imagine the way my heart smiled as I saw the way these two photos came out. The first is a heart, and the second...well, maybe you can see that same angel that I see....
Sometimes, imperfections are the most perfect things of all.

I regret not getting here sooner. It would have been nice to share that little connection here with you on the proper day. The pictures are really something, and I hope there really is such a thing as hidden messages. Just another reminder that things happen for a reason.

How sad it was for me when I read your feeling of such great "loss".
I have never walked in those shoes, loosing someone as close as a parent.
I have lost my buddy, my grandmother and my best days are the day after I have dreamed about her. I love nothing more then going into that dreamy world and visiting with her...it keeps us close.
The pics are awesome.
I have thought about you....how's everything else?
Blog on...looking forward to more.
Love TJ

Very interesting photos of the moon. Funny, my husband called me out the other evening to sit with him and look at the moon. I don't know about you but sometimes I decline and then minutes later stop the trivial thing that I'm doing and get out there with him. We've got to take those moment with those that are still living and right here in our life. What a change that was and the moon was so brilliant the night before the eclipse too.
