Shooting Stars
A couple evenings ago as I was walking my dogs before getting ready for bed I saw a shooting star. I had to blink twice just to make sure I wasn't seeing things or just wished it to happen, but I did indeed see a glorious star brightening up the sky going from south to north in a brilliant array of color - orange, blue, green, purple - ultimately fading away. I smiled and made a wish. To think if I hadn't been looking up at the stars at just the right moment I may have missed the 3 second shooting star streak that made me smile. Sometimes when I see a shooting star, I wonder if I am the only one in the whole world who saw it. What if the star only carries my wish? There are more stars in the sky than could ever be counted and this one decided to dance across the night sky just for me. Now meteor showers are a real treat, totally worth staying up until odd hours of the night and driving to the middle of nowhere so there is not any light pollution to be able to see a shooting star every minute. Not all shooting stars are the same:some are white, some travel quickly, others are colorful, stars can sometimes seem to travel in pairs (double shooting stars are amazing), they can travel in any direction, and my favorite are the colorful ones.Shooting Stars = Make a wish and smile
