Did anyone see the full moon last night? It was captivating.

Everything was clear and the light was so bright that I could see all the dark tones of blue in the sky. It reminded me of a story my parents always used to tell me about when I was a child. I don’t remember it, but apparently I had a fascination with the moon at a very early age.

My parents were camping by a lake. I kept wondering out by the water and saying “moooooooon”. They couldn’t sleep because they were afraid I’d end up drowning in the water overnight. So they had to get in the car and drive me to my Grandma and Grandpa’s house to stay the rest of the night while they went back.

I do love the moon. Some of the most beautiful things in life are those that have been with us our whole lives. Even if we neglect them, they are still there. It never fails to amaze me that I can go outside and look at something and you can be miles away and see the same thing.

So if you’re out tonight and happen to look up, take a second to enjoy the full moon. And keep in mind that I can see the same thing.
