Continuing (for now) my attempt to make myself believe that I’m a decent person in spite of every horrible thing I ever did (and I should probably refrain from phrasing it that way if I mean to succeed in this endeavour), I’m back with another affirmation.
Today’s is less directly about me and involves the people around me. They seem to genuinely care for and about me and my well-being—physical, emotional and mental. They wouldn’t waste their energies on someone undeserving, would they? Maybe they don’t know everything about me, that is, everything I’ve ever done, but surely they see in me TODAY qualities deserving of love? So other people think the person I am today is a good and decent person, and it hurts them to see me hurting.
A few good things happened today. First, we went to see Guardians of the Galaxy. Then we walked home and Travis made a delicious dinner and we watched a couple episodes of The Simpsons. We’re into season 12 now and hoo BOY are there some great episodes there, and some great lines. “It’s a hamster ball! Just like the one that saved Ezekiel!” XD
Tonight is the so-called “super moon” and despite some early cloud cover, I was able to see it. It’s… well… it’s a full moon. I’ve seen the full moon hundreds of times, and I’ll never get tired of it, but I didn’t think there was anything especially different about tonight’s. It’s supposed to be slightly larger? Of course all the easily-debunked-by-reading-Snopes blather about it being the size of your palm and other such nonsense isn’t true. If the moon were THAT large, we’d be in some deep doodoo. The gravitational shear would wreak havoc. Earthquakes, tsunami, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!
But it’s nice to see the moon. :)
In addition to the so-called “super moon” tonight’s the start of the Perseid meteor shower, which will last the next few days, peaking probably right after I go to bed tomorrow night. When the sky cleared, I was actually able to see a meteor! I’ll be going back out again in a little while to see if I can see any more. I’m hopeful. I never get to see meteor showers anymore. I haven’t seen one since… 2001? 2002? It’s been a very long time. Inevitably the skies are 100% clouded over and if they clear, it’s long after I’ve given up and gone to bed. So tonight’s a pretty big deal for me.
I don’t want to spoil GotG for anyone who’s not yet seen it, but I’m going to assume if you’re reading this, you’ve probably already seen the fillum. Oh, what the heck, have a cut tag. ( Potential spoilers here! )
