This weekend there was a full moon along with beautiful clouds. The sky was a striking canvas of light and shadows. This image emotes a high degree of moodiness. The moon was hidden but its effects were striking.

Life is a canvas of experiences.....despair, hope; darkness, light; sadness, joy; wellness, sickness; peace, angst. It is the blend of these times that adds to the richness of life. I am grateful for this realm for when there is the unpleasant, we can know that it is short-lived and the more pleasant experience will eventually come to be.

At the end of our time on earth, if we have lived fully, we will not be able to say, 'I was always happy.' Hopefully, we will be able to say, 'I have experienced a lifetime of real moments, and many of them were happy moments.' ~Barbara Deangelis

Peace.
