And I couldn’t resist!!! I cant wait for 2012 to come....

On Thursday night, many people may look up at the sky and ask, "What's that bright star next to the moon?"
The answer for Thursday night is Mars, but that answer changes night by night as the moon travels along the ecliptic, the path that the sun, moon and planets follow across the sky. If you ask the question again on March 29, the answer will be the ringed planet Saturn.
Such conjunctions of the moon and planets are regular reminders of how rapidly the moon moves across the sky.
Mars was in opposition to the sun on Jan. 29, when it appeared 14 arcseconds in diameter, one-120th of the diameter of the moon. Two months later, it is much farther away, and has shrunk to only 10 arcseconds in diameter.
This will be your last chance to get a good look at Mars until it approaches the Earth again in 2012.

If you have MSN as your homepage I am  sure you read this….and I couldn’t resist!!! I had to do it, yes I had to stay up late with loads of coffee and witness this amazing and wonderful gift . Plus I had a wonderful conversation with Ian he was telling me about this Documentary on Dolphin cruelty, we had a long discussion…. It was a bit cold outside but we still had a blast it was very unfortunate I wasn’t prepared, I don’t own a telescope and I felt so bad for not having one today (sad face) but we still managed using some vernaculars it really didn’t make a difference but it helped set the mood….but I had a blast♥
I hope many of you enjoyed this, if you did please feel free to share


♥Have a great night or a wonderful morning♥

Oh i didnt know about this!! Wish I had! Once I went out the back of the restaurant when i was waitressing and the moon was red.. i went back to the kitchen and told everyone who slowly started to follow me until the whole restaurant was in the tiny back porch, dont know how it had slipped past everyone that there was a lunar eclipse that night! magical :)

Last week I was extremely sick! I really rarely get sick however I’ve been under a lot of stress regarding work dilemmas and household issues. And now I truly believe what they say, feeling sad can trigger physical sickness. Which means I haven’t really worked-out the past two weeks and that makes me feel extremely guilty. I feel ashamed of myself, I always think that the greatest humans are those who are disciplined in every aspect of their lives. I always look for people that inspire me, however in my inner circle only a couple of people enjoy burning off some steam. So with this said I search the internet for inspiration and I stumbled upon these two strong individuals, one of them surprisingly is a Vegan!!! Being a vegetarian I do not have the misconception that a non-meat eater could never gain muscle. But even so it felt like a wake-up call just a tad, it has   inspired me to change my diet, I will give this food plan a go, what’s the worst that could happen … let’s all get i

The whole world is in chess. Any move can be the death of you. Do anything except remain where you started, and you can't be sure of your end. Were you sure of your end once?

Living in agreement with nature

  Riddle me this... sweat everywhere sunscreen in my eyes, hair sticking to the back of my neck... did you say summer? yup you guessed it, that's how summer feels. Did you know that wind blowing between  trees almost sounds like ocean waves? well now you know. Joe and I took a trip to the top of a mountain channeling our inner quest. Once up there the silence was unmatched the only sound was the wind running through the evergreen trees. I inhaled that clean air as if I might never get the opportunity to do it again. This summer is different. Summers although not my favorited season always symbolized change. I find it a bit comical, I thrive during summer and go into a slumber during winter.  We started the morning by listening to Joe Abercrombie's "The Blade Itself" It's definitely top 10 on Joe's book list. Speaking of lists this is how our day went:  Enjoyed the road filled with evergreen trees very "Virgen River" nothing wrong with that. Had break
