The light from a full moon (or any moon for that matter) simply amazes me. Especially if it is a full moon over the vast ocean! If you know me, you know that I see things different than most people. I love cloudy days. From the gigantic black clouds to the gray clouds that just stretch across the sky. That does not bother me. I love the rain, where as most prefer the sun shine.
Just the other day, I was heading to my car and it was pouring. My first thought was to run to the car, but then it hit me! Why? So, I walked at a normal pace, loving every step and enjoying the rain that was just flowing from the sky! Amazing! I’ve reminded you of all of this to tell you that the moon light is an amazing source of beauty for me. I can sit and gaze at the moon for hours. It captures me in a way that nothing else does.
The brightness of the moon lights up the blackest sky. The fullness of the moon illuminates everything with such softness. That soft, calming effect leaves me gazing with awe each time there’s a full moon. The light of the moon transforms the dull darkness into brilliance – even in the fog!
The moon is majestic, handsome and simply glorious when it is full. The brightness dances across the dark sky – perfect, whole and stunning. This always reminds me that there is always light in the darkness and that shadows are not always a bad thing. I’m also reminded that even with clouds hanging around, the light from the moon is amazing to behold.
Then I wonder. Am I that kind of light? Amazing to behold, when the clouds are looming overhead? Do I continue to rise – slowly and steadily above the clouds so that I can illuminate everything around me? Or, when my clouds are hanging low, is the light suppressed, does gloom abound?
The skies will be pitch dark, the clouds will stretch across the sky but the moon will still give off its brilliant light! May I always remember to shine like the moon in the dark, to give beautiful moonlit hugs, to always illuminate those around me.
Moonlit Beauty….may you always shine brightly, even in the dark!

Thank you for reminding me that we can not only be a light to others in the day but even more important is the light we give to the world in the dark of night.
love the new site darling!! my backgrounds are texture files i bought from a photographer friend that i took most or all of the color out of so they didn’t interfere with content… you can look for textures for free on deviant art then desaturate the color and make it light in whatever photo editing software you have… making it light is important too, because it can look busy if it’s too dark a background, good luck with finding something, and i love your Christmassy banner, is that your princess in it? 🙂
Thanks Elaine for that info. Yes…that is my Princess…isn’t she amazing? Love the Christmas feel. Will change it shortly afterwards, but do love it. Thanks for stopping in.
Thanks for your thoughts and unique perspective. I realize I need to think outside the box at times because God isn’t contained in my little world. There’s an infinate universe outside my “box”!
me too…..people think i’m nuts for walking around when it’s snowing and raining…..sure, i hide my camera away so it stays dry, but i figure, how can i enjoy the sun, if i don’t like the rain? thanks!
