The Morning After

So...I'm feeling good today. Something happened that took me completely by surprise. Usually I would have been nervous, but last night I just went with the flow. Didn't over think things as I normally would.

Are you curious?

Of course a man is involved. Do you believe in fate? or is it Destiny? According to Wikipedia, Destiny and Fate can be interchangable.

Destiny may be envisaged as fore-ordained by the Divine or by human will. Destiny may be seen as a fixed sequence of events that is inevitable and unchangeable, or that individuals choose their own destiny by choosing different paths throughout their life.
Although the words are used interchangeably in many cases, fate and destiny can be distinguished. Modern usage defines fate as a power or agency that predetermines and orders the course of events. Fate defines events as ordered or "meant to be".

It all started months ago, meeting someone and an instant connection was felt. Feeling like we've known each other already. He told me it felt like being 'home'.

The few times spent together we found many coincidences, had many people in common. The term small world comes to mind. Each time we are together, our world gets smaller and smaller.
For one reason or another, he stepped away from my world, but always keeping in touch. He came back briefly and the feelings were the same. But, as he did earlier, stepped away again. I have tried telling him to let me go, but he won't. He continues to always be there or around. Circumstances always bringing us back towards each other. Both being invited to parties by different people, him playing on a softball league with friends of mine that he didn't even know I knew.

Why does this keep happening? I can't move forward because my feelings are huge for this man. I've gone on dates, but it isn't "him"...then just when I meet someone new or asked on a date...he'll call. It's like he has this sense about me and what I'm doing.

Well, my surprise was spending a lot of time together last night, lasting into the wee hours of the morning. We are supposed to go to a party together today. I guess I will just feel good and enjoy the time we spend together.

What is meant to be... will be....

Affects of the Full Moon

I swear the affects of the full moon make people act a little off kilter. I have already seen signs the full moon is approaching. I can zone in on the moon and don't even have to look at my calendar to check. Days before the moon is full (like today), I get calls or come into contact with people that say something or do something that makes me just shake my head and think...what the hell was that about...crazy people!
By the way, the calendar says the full moon is on Monday, July 30...

I know the moon affects the tides.. We are made up of mostly liquid, right? The full moon affects all liquid. According to astrology.com, we tend to retain more water during a full moon and, because our skull is unable to expand when fluid pressure increases, the excess water is sometimes manifested in "full moon madness." That's hitting the nail on the head....

It is said a full moon occurs when the moon is exactly opposite to the sun. This is a moon of high energy, the highest peak before it begins to wane. During this phase, your activities are brought to fruition and you will see the results of your efforts. Even if things have not gone well, during this phase, you will suddenly see clearly what was wrong.

As per Wikipedia,the full moon has been linked to crime, suicide, mental illness, disasters, accidents, birthrates, fertility, and werewolves, among other things. Some people even buy and sell stocks according to phases of the moon, a method probably as successful as many others.

Numerous studies have tried to find lunar effects. So far, the studies have failed to establish much of interest. Lunar effects that have been found have little or nothing to do with human behavior, e.g., the discovery of a slight effect of the moon on global temperature,* which in turn might have an effect on the growth of plants.

Of course, there have been single studies here and there that have found correlations between various phases of the moon and this or that phenomenon, but nothing significant has been replicated sufficiently to warrant claiming a probable causal relationship.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you notice a change in people just before the arrival of the full moon?
