Full Moon Coming

Tomorrow's a full moon. She's so big now that if you don't look closely, you think she already is full. Last night she shown outside my window as I got ready for bed, so I opened the blinds and let her shine in.

She was like a spotlight shining down to the Earth below. A ray of moonlihgt reflected off of each slat of the blinds and made them look like a stairway made of moonlihgt.

It reminded me of flying down with my Dad to go to my aunt's funeral. I had the window seat (I love the window seat) and watched a white spotlight travel along the ground along side us for most of the journey. It wasn't until we passed across calm water that I knew for sure it was the moon. For all I knew it could have been a light off of the plane we were in. But it was the moon. The water was so calm I could see the shades clearly and there was no doubt about it.

Anyway, I like watching the moon, and she was really pretty last night. Hope I get a good view of her again tonight.
