Day 213 – Perseids Meteor Shower

So it’s been all over the news and social media that tonight is the best night to see the Perseids Meteor Shower. Due to the fact that on the 14^th there is a new moon, it is supposed to be a more visible show. I have never sought out a meteor shower of any type so for today’s intention I am excited to be a part of it. I am also so very happy to report that the sky was absolutely clear- not a cloud in sight.

Vinny, my mom and I went out to our side deck as it is not covered and since we are up so high it made the sky completely visible and unimpaired. I read that the key to a meteor shower is patience – so we headed out, made ourselves comfortable and just watched. I was all prepped and ready for my “shooting star” wishing bonanza!!

Within minutes we saw a little one (I quick made a wish)– minutes later a HUGE one went streaming long and far across the sky in front of us! Then we started seeing more here and there. The night air got a little cool, so I wrapped up in my favorite blankie and with my head back I just star gazed. We are actually still out there but I came in for a moment to write my blog. I am happy to have been able to be fortunate enough to have such a front row seat and look forward to getting back out there and seeing more. #lifeisgood #shootingstarsgalore #uhohnomakeupon #HGAL
