Hello Friday! Even with summer's sizzle in full swing, Friday nights are still the best night of the week in my book. They are great for playing ball at dusk, roasting s'mores and stargazing. As for the stargazing, I love to joke that I want nothing to do with space since there are plenty of problems here on earth. I, however, can't help but stare up at the night sky and wonder about the expanse of the universe. It's magnetic and magnificent isn't it? It makes everything seem inconsequential. In short, the sky is pretty awe inspiring even for a pessimist like me.

Tonight treat yourself to a meteor shower and some stargazing. If the sky is clear, grab a blanket, go to a safe dark spot tonight to view stars. Create a sense of awe by looking up. Take time to spot a meteor or two. Two fold, create a wish on any falling stars. Right now the Delta Aquarid meteor shower should be in full swing. It sounds like it won't be as breathtaking as the Perseid meteor shower which happens around August 11-12 but the Delta Aquarid should do for a summer wish.

Well, I'm going to run and get my blanket ready and hope the clouds part so I can take in the universe. See you tomorrow twinkle twinkle little stars.
