Present and looking on at us was the Moon on Friday night. In Merritt this picture was captured as it rose above Iron Mountain; the mountain is weather reference used to plant gardens in the spring.

Moon in weather
Weather lore often includes observations related to the moon, such as the belief that a ring around the moon signifies an approaching storm.I’m Additionally, folklore suggests that the moon’s appearance can provide some indication of upcoming weather conditions. For instance, a clear view of the moon could indicate fair weather, while a halo around the moon may indicate the approach of a warm front and possibly rainy conditions. While these observations may carry some anecdotal truth, it’s essential to rely on more scientific and reliable meteorological forecasts for accurate weather predictions.

Do you know yourself? What about limits, do you care about others limits, does it matter?
Understanding oneself is crucial for personal growth and well-being. Setting limits and boundaries can help individuals maintain a healthy balance in their lives and relationships. It’s important to consider and respect the limits of others, as this contributes to building meaningful and respectful connections. When interacting with others, being mindful of their limits can lead to more positive and fulfilling relationships. However, it’s also essential to evaluate the impact of these limits on the nature of relationships, whether they are with friends or potential adversaries. Striking a balance between self-awareness and understanding the boundaries of others is a key aspect of navigating social interactions.
Your path is yours to share and own.

Return to routine
How do
Returning to routine after celebrating a life event can be a significant shift. Here are a few tips to ease the transition:
- Reflect on the Celebration: Take a moment to reflect on the event and the joy it brought. This can help you appreciate the experience and carry its positivity forward.
- Re-establish Priorities: Identify your important tasks and commitments, and gradually reintegrate them into your schedule. Setting achievable goals can help you regain a sense of normalcy.
- Slow Transition: Ease back into your routine rather than abruptly diving back in. Start by tackling the most essential tasks first.
- Self-Care: Ensure that you take care of yourself both physically and mentally, as transitions can be emotionally taxing.
- Stay Connected: Maintain the connections made during the celebration and use them as a source of support as you return to your routine.

Resiliency praised
The most defining word generated by the experience was ” resiliency” Government and individuals, companies “Thank you Trans Mountain” et al all for the years as they mounted as catalyst for for fire and flood, mood and brood; the people of British Columbia exceeded all that came with plaque and prose and ( touch wood ) have produced an experience that matters.
