Something for Nothing

“Nothing will work unless you do.”
Maya Angelou

Nothing Will Work Unless You Do

Circa 1936. Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division.

We all want to succeed in all of our endeavors. When we see a successful person, it may appear their success came easily. But we will never know all the tribulation that successful person endured.
The simple truth is if you want to succeed you have to do the work. The sad part is that even with all the hard work, there’s still no guarantee of success.
We do know that no work is basically a guarantee of no success. With a little luck on your side and hard work you might find success quickly.
That’s why it’s so very important to keep working toward your goals, even if they seem impossible, because when you stop working, success is not possible.
In this get rich quick, immediate gratification world we live in, you’ve got to work for the things that you want. Nothing worth having is easily attained. We all know you don’t get something for nothing.

A Full Blue Moon

“Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own.”
Lyrics from Blue Moon

Once in a Blue Moon

Friday night the world will experience something that happens about every 30 months. Despite the popular expression, a blue moon isn’t as astoundingly rare as one might expect.

Tonights moon is being called a blue moon because it is the second full moon occurring in one month — the first was on July 2.

A truly blue-colored moon is actually a rarity and is usually the product of a volcano or wildfire sending particles into the air. According to NASA, the particles only allow blue light to filter through. If you live in California near the wildfires, you might get a chance to just see a blue moon this evening.

When and if you see the moon this evening remember that others all over the world will be watching and most likely be looking up at the stars and the moon at the same time. Hoping to get a glimpse of a full blue moon,
