Northern Lights

Sometimes, you find moments of incredible beauty during errands, doctor appointments, homework, and other day-to-day tasks.   This week was one of those moments for me.  Not every moment was amazing.  Some moments were challenging and painful.  Then, in the middle of some of the worst of it, an extreme solar storm bombarded Earth.  

On the night of October 10th, visibility of the Northern Lights extended to New Mexico.  We stepped out on the deck behind our home in Virginia and saw them by using the cameras on our phones to magnify the different light spectrums.  

Then, I went on social media and saw the experiences of others worldwide. In this instance, seeing the event through countless different perspectives magnified its beauty. 

After, I returned to working on homework, but I was smiling.
