January 15

I was driving back from the Spring sports meeting at Isaac's school this evening when the moon caught my eye.

It was so big and bright and orange that I actually flipped a u-turn and pulled over in a spot that gave me a clear view of the valley below.

I'm not sure if it's a full moon or just close to it, but it certainly looked beautiful as it hung there in the distance. There's something about the scene that exuded a calmness and peace that I can't fully explain. 

So for that natural loveliness, I am thankful.
