It was a full moon Tues. Did you get up early (4:10 AM EST) to see the moon in a blood red color? Neither did I. But I have the answer for why it was Red.... ready? Because the sky is blue. Thats it, that is the answer....

I did however stay up and take in the brilliance of the full moon that night. Full moons have often been suspect in the cause of wild behaviors of the mentally ill, children and well just about anyone else I suppose. I read a little bit about the effects of this moon. There will not be another like this in our lifetime supposedly. This is a very powerful one too. Something about astrology plays into this role and what 'house' the moon is sitting in. It also retains its powerfulness for a week or more. It affects your moods and general being. Now... it could be coincidence, but yesterday was a 'full moon' kind of day. My boss was all over me like white on rice. Unfortunately, I let this encounter with her affect me. I should not have reacted but I did.. and my reaction? anger and tears. By the time I was home, I felt a great weight between my shoulders and the start of a headache. My energy had been zapped. I did go back to the school that night and finished setting up my classroom. I got home and was so physically and emotionally exhausted that I went right to bed. Maybe the moon? or just the day? who will ever know?

What I do know is that this mornings walk centered me once again. I donned my sneaks, put on my baseball cap, (I go walking with bedhead) turned up the volume of my Ipod, breathed deeply and walked away all of yesterday! I'm energized again and ready to enjoy the weekend on the cape with good old college friends M and E. Beach sand here I come!
