It always occurs to me that every single person on this earth is looking at the same moon, sometimes hours before me, or hours after me. I never tire of pondering that.
I don't know why, but I've always loved looking at the moon, especially when it's full and close to the horizon. I always think of the movie Moonstruck when I see a low full moon that looks enormous, and think of "Cosmo's moon".
I did end up trimming a tiny bit last evening. Well really, it was more of a dusting, because I literally trimmed off so little that what came off looked like dust. It won't make much if any difference in length, but I just felt the need to follow the age-old ritual of trimming a bit on a fortunate day.
Call me superstitious; I don't care. I feel as though I'm following in the footsteps of the ancestors when I follow old folklore.
Today it's been a quiet day, and very pleasant. Since I'm not going anywhere, I decided to let my hair marinate in a large quantity of coconut oil for most of the day, and I'm going to do a deep moisture treatment this evening.
It's another movie night for me. I haven't chosen what I'm going to watch as yet, but I think I'm going to go with something new and mainstream. I've been watching a lot of indie movies of late, so it's time for a movie that perhaps other people I know may have actually seen.
I want to say hello and welcome to the new followers to this blog. I am ever humbled by the idea that anyone follows this blog, and very appreciative.
I myself need to start commenting more on the blogs that I read. I am the worst at making comments. I don't know why, but I often think that what I have to say is irrelevant. I need to change my thinking about that, because I know just how much it means to me when people comment on my own blog.
I do want to say that I enjoy all of the blogs to which I am subscribed, and I am going to work on being more interactive.
Well, it's time to start with the hair routine before I decide on a movie.
'Til tomorrow, my friends. Much love to all, and extra hugs to anyone who is worried today.

Hello dear friend! I too watched the moon last night (but missed it coming up as I was trying to catch lightning shots from the storm to the northwest) and was up at 6 this morning with my two youngest kids watching the misty moon for a few minutes before they went to early-morning church. It is a simply wondrous and fantastical thing, the full moon. I feel so blessed to have such a fascination with something so earthy (and yet heavenly at the same time. Or is it the other way around??? ;) )
ReplyDeleteHave you ever seen the movie Birds of America (with Matthew Perry and Lauren Graham)? It's a pretty darn good "indie" movie about a dysfunctional family. Right up my alley.
Much love
me
Hi! I've been following your blog for about a month now! I've learnt how to do so many things via you! The Rope Braid (And a bun to go with it is it the Rose bun?),Gibson tuck, Peacock Twist etc.. Since my hair is so short I have to do the braids on my Dad, but you are inspiring me!!! =D

I've always loved to look at the moon, especially the full moon. I love the way things look in moonlight.
