gratitude {november 1}

Little things that come together...

The "fall back" time change got my big dog Ted and me out on our morning walk during that time in between dark and light. Before we went out the door, for whatever reason, I grabbed my big camera to take with me. Outside was so peaceful; no cars or people on the streets. The brisk air jolted me out of some brain fog: fog that came from the hour time difference, fog from thinking about my father-in-law's passing and my kids losing two grandparents in five months, fog from missing my chocolate Lab, Hunter, whose soft ears were such a comfort when I was stressing out. 


So Ted stopped to pee and I looked up and saw the full blue moon. We weren't far from the river walk. I'm dragging Ted, bribing him with biscuits to hurry him to the path along the Great Miami so I could take a picture. We made it, Ted got a biscuit, and I snapped a few photos. This moon has me geeking out a little: there hasn't been a full moon on Halloween since 1944, it's a blue moon (2nd full moon in the same month), and it's also known as the Hunter's Moon. 

Call it what you will...fate, happenstance, serendipity, God wink...

You all make it a great day.
