Janice’s Reflection & Prompt:

Janice Hayes’ Cha “Blue Moon”

One practice I have is to always look for the moon. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not.

When it's there, I really stop and admire it and think of my mother. I remind myself that it will all be okay—whatever I am worrying about (and I am always worrying about something). 

I also remind myself that the moon is always there, we just can't always see it. So have faith.
