Such serene pictures, Gaby!! I took last week some colorful sunsets but with iphone it’s not the best camera lens, I never understand that such expensive gadget and compared to the cost it has a not up to par camera lense(s) (me currently 6s in possession).
I find watching a moon 
in all stages very magical and indeed moon has impact on many things like our behavior, water (tides) and animals… it is an important planet for everyone

Wow that’s great Mary!
I wished I could loose weight, what diet are you on? I just fluctuate between 2 to 4 pounds in a week… I don’t understand I have never a constant same weight, whether I eat or not… whether I exercise or not no true loss… it’s a mystery to me I need at least 10 to 20 lbs less to get rid of fat… I feel sometimes like in a “fat suit” not that Im overly fat looking just don’t feel it’s me LOL 
Your hard work paid off! Keep on doing what ever you are doing

I love watching the moon and it feels really mystical. Full moon has that special force of attraction which even a thousand stars lack.
You might find these images really astonishing and breathtaking!
I find night skies really cozy and many poets might not agree but for me winter nights are more prepossessing than a summer night with echoing melodies of crickets.

Thank you, I am glad that you also like the pictures 
I totally understand you, I have 2 cameras that are really good, but rarely take pictures with them… When you get a camera ready to take pictures… Do you have to take pictures 
But the spontaneity lies in the smartphone 
Only which Smartphone has a good camera?
It has taken, Until I found the right smartphone for myself 
It is not a moon

Me too! I think it’s normal to fluctuate between 500 g to 2 kg every day, because:
-
it depends when you weigh yourself.
I heard it was recommended to do it at the same hour in the morning before eating, because during the day you eat and drink. Even water counts. -
it depends on your clothes (shirt, big sweater…).
Last time I went to the doctor, he deduced 1 kg from the scale because of clothes.
Maybe look for what part of your body you want to lose weight and find exercises for this part specifically.
I found that the diet is really important.
-
If we eat too salty or too sugary, the body will retain more water (homeostasis) and so + kg.
-
If we eat late at night and soon after we sleep, our body doesn’t have time to release the energy we just eat and will store it. So don’t eat dinner late at night.
-
Then, the type of food and the type of activity.
If there are too many carbs (pasta, rice, bread, potato…) and not enough physical activity, the body will store the excess. If I eat pasta at noon, I try to limit carbs I will eat at diner, but I still eat carbs because of the aftereffects from excluding carbs.
If we don’t do much physical activity, less carbs we eat. If we’re still hungry, we can eat more ingredients with fibers or proteins. -
Prefer something freshly cooked vs. Restaurants or frozen food, because for the taste, they add oil, sugar, salt, sauce, additives that make us fatter. When you cook, you can control the quantity of butter, sugar, salt you put inside your food.
Ex: Mcdonald’s sauce and their big mac lol
Limit the consumption of sauce in your salad.
-
there are ingredients that will lessen the hungriness feeling during the day like oatmeal, apples, water… list on the internet.
-
What you wear: not too hot, not too cold. Don’t put heating system too high, so the body will spend more energy to maintain the body’s temp at 37°C.
I read that cold showers could help a little bit with weight loss and skincare lol
But don’t fall sick!
Maybe you can also ask advice from your doctor or do a check-up or blood test when the situation will be less dangerous.
Planets turn around a star like the sun whereas satellites like our moon turn around planets.
Callisto is one of the satellites of Jupiter that has around 80 satellites or moons, it’s also beautiful:
From our planet, we see a dot lol

WELCOME BACK!!! Discussions just isn’t the same without you! 
on a side note: highlight of my day-- i was watching Shopaholic Louis and in one scene they were sitting in a bar and EXO’s Lotto was playing! I almost fell off my bunk bed in surprise, it’s so awesome to hear my favourite band just randomly play in restaurants and bars in kdramas (this happened in Descendants of the Sun and another i can’t remember rn)!!!

Today was the second day of snow. It’s sad that we get so little snow here in the south, due to global warming it isn’t the same as it used to. As a kid I remember it used to be -20 or -30 (sometimes) and snow from October to April, the land was beautiful and you could do all the winter outdoor activity that kids love (pulkka was so fun). During my parents time as children it used to be even colder and they have seen a bigger climate change. However, seeing snow brings a great feeling of hope, even if only for a day, since it means mother nature is still in this fight. Not as great of a feeling as first snow. Feeling hopeful, even just because of a snowy and cold weather, is really nice because that means all the everyday stress, worry, anxiety etc. won’t get to you as easily and thus the snow brings a certain calm and inner peace. Unlike the ever more warm summers which make it harder to sleep etc. 
Sorry, didn’t take a new pic, so I’m gona recycle the old one, but the ground looked the same. 
Should probably take new fresh pictures next time.

I’m so used to the Peter, Paul & Mary version that I couldn’t listen to this all the way through. The original is much slower but really beautiful. I found it on YouTube.
