Perfect End – Perfect Beginning – Once in a Blue Moon
Last night, the “blue moon“ heralded what for me was a near perfect end to 2009 – delicious food, terrific wines, and the wonderful company of close friends.
Today, revealed a beginning to 2010 that was just as good – more great food and time spent with family and friends – all in the context of a truly beautiful day. It really doesn’t get any better!
Resolutions? For me – not really. Just the determination to make the coming year better as I hope we all strive to make each new day a little bit better than the last one.
“Once in a blue moon” – There are several definitions. They vary from the 3rd full moon in a season that will have 4 full moons, to the 13th full moon in a calendar year, to the most accepted which is a 2nd full moon in a given month.
Last night, we were treated to a blue moon that was the 2nd one in December and the 13th one in 2009 – a double bonus!

Being a Cancerian, I can’t help but feel partial toward this photo.
(We’re ruled by the moon)!
Lovely!
I didn’t realize why I’m always so mesmerized by the moon – I guess it’s that “Cancerian” thing.
