Earlier this week and very early one morning I woke up, walked over to the window and gazed to the hills to be greeted by this stunning spectacle!
I captured the moment with this snapshot. Only later that day did I realise its significance when my husband started playing the track Harvest Moon (see below). He can be a romantic at times which is much appreciated.
Life is hard and I think we are all feeling weighed down and weary by the woes of the world. In such times we can sometimes say harsh things without giving our words much thought. Sometimes, however, lovely moments come out of the blue and are worth sharing.
Thought for the weekend. My message serves as a reminder to pause, observe, and appreciate real things and natural phenomena. It is also a reminder to be kind, say something nice about someone, and share a smile on a seemingly ordinary day which may turn out to be not so ordinary after all 😊.
It’s the real thing caught on camera (no AI needed).
