Last night Griffin and I, armed with our glasses of chardonnay, headed out to the back lawn chairs at 11:00 to watch the meteor shower. It was amazing. We live in a neighborhood that specifically has little to no street lights, so combined with the no moon, it was just perfect watching conditions.
There is a song currently on the radio right now, which features Eminem, that starts with "Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now...". I used to really love the whole wish upon a star or throw a coin in the fountain and make a wish come true concept. Remember that time in life when you truly thought maybe, just maybe, it could steer the cosmos your way? Most of us are grown up and realize that wishes are not really granted that way. But sometimes..sometimes, like last night, with those streaks of light soaring across the starry sky, it takes you back and lets you believe in magic. If only for a short time.
Then, and yes Internet be prepared to gag, I went to bed and woke up with the sun shining in our bedroom and my husband still asleep beside me. This man and I have been going to bed and waking up together for 12 years and each and every day it gets better and better. Damn I'm lucky. Who needs shooting stars when you have that?
