Honey Moon

All of the sudden, before you know it...it's June.  The year is half way through!  How has it been for you?  Are you where you wanted to be at this point in the year?  I am pretty happy with my place so far.  It's definitely a "half full" kind of year rather than a "half empty".

The full moon in June is called the honey or lovers moon and occurs tonight.  It's a good time to take care of things that are important or to enhance things that you already have rather than to try to acquire new.  Interesting note:  The moon is called the lovers moon this month due to folklore.  Ancient people believed that the gods and goddesses formed their sexual unions during Beltaine, which happens in early May.  As to not compete with the divine, people waited until June to perform their own sexual unions, i.e., marriages.      

In honor of the spirit of the honey moon, I will stick to that which is important to me and make enhancements wherever I can.  My fitness goal is important to me!  This month I am really getting into the thick of the schedule that will kick my butt..and I'm happy for it.  Stretching is important in exercise...so, I attended a yoga class today for the first time as part of my new routine (last week yoga was cancelled due to the holiday).  It was interesting to say the least!  I'm not as flexible as I thought I was but I'm excited to learn more as I go.  There's two yoga classes at my gym.  I did the regular yoga today but I'm thinking next week I may go for the cardio one, provided my shoulder feels better.  It's a bit sore at the moment.

The lovers moon..reminds us to be grateful for the lover we have in our lives and for how they enhance our every day.  Today was a rough day for me..it happens.  But I am thankful that I have a man who loves me and whom I love right back.  Our 22nd monthly anniversary happens on Wednesday. It seems like a lifetime of memories in the most unforgettable relationship of my life.  We truly enhance each other. I'm going to remember that this month.        

Deep thoughts about dates: True Blood season 5 starts on the 10th on HBO woohoo!! The last day of school for the minions is the 14th which means outside smells of summer comes inside. One of my bestest friends is moving to Oklahoma on the 22nd and it makes me very sad.  The Seattle Rock n Roll marathon is on the 23rd giving SBF free bling for running both NW races (Portland and Seattle).  My sister's birthday is the 25th and gift buying for her is impossible!
