Summer Solstice: Strawberry Moon

strawberrymoon

Last night was a Full Moon on the Summer Solstice they say an event has not happened in many decades. I was fortunate to be able to see the event, and take a picture of it. The one you see here. It was such a beautiful sight. I have always loved the moon and the stars. They are always so majestic and peaceful. It was a lovely sight. It was a great reminder of the beauty that I have found in life these days and the journeys I have taken in life now. As I build a life that is more than I could ever have imagined or dreamed for.

The Summer Solstice is the start of the Summer season and this Summer is going to be the first Summer in my entire life that will have so much going on, will create so many memories, and will literally be the time of my life. It is both exhilarating and beautiful like the moon last night. It was called a Strawberry Moon yet it was orange. Looks more like an Orange Moon to me. I suppose that is why I am not an Astronomer making the big bucks.

My journey has only just begun and I look forward to new places and people to meet. Next week will be my big vacation where I go down to see the Smithsonian. Something I have always wanted to do but was always too scared to go. I never thought I would say this but I can not wait to go someplace.

My how my life has changed. For the better. I look forward to what life will bring me with joy instead of fear and trepidation.
