Cold Moving In

Driving back to work this afternoon at 2:00 p.m. the moon was rising behind my building at the university, the moon is large, glowing, and full. What a sight to see just as the sun prepares to set. If only the glow from the moon had the same healing powers as the sun.

Now the moon is high in the sky encircled in rings signaling a change in the temperature, another cold spell moving into the area. It is predicted to be in the 30's, the negative 30's.

Time to hunker down with a warm glass of something in front of the wood stove or fireplace whichever your house is blessed with. There is too much to be accomplished at work tomorrow, so playing hooky is out of the question. I will trudge to the bus stop, do my duty at work, and head home for a long weekend winters rest, not a nap, just a rest. It is only a true nap when the husband is home from the slope and we can nap together!

No matter the temperature tonight, I will open the bedroom window shades and enjoy the glow of the moon through the night and dream sweet dreams with loving thoughts of my dear best friend Lisa, as we can never look at a full moon without thinking of each other.

May the moon light your way on this cold night. May its mystic fill your heart with wonder.
