wishing upon a star

I have always loved astronomy and as a child one of my dreams was to become an Astronaut. To explore new worlds, walk on surfaces where no woman/man has set foot before. That dream went the way of a new pair of glasses at the age of seventeen and the knowledge that because of poor eyesight I would never be able to fly fighter jets let alone pilot the shuttle. So whenever I hear about advances in space or the sighting of some new star, or planet or blackhole a little part of me is giddy once again, and the dream that once was rekindles itself, warming my soul with the promise of new possibilities. This new star was discovered, I am assuming sometimes last week.

Other then that still feeling somewhat down in the mouth, hoping that things will look up soon, for everyone. Praying that the month of March will be a joyful cheery month, filled with the promise of new discovery and all things wonderful. Better make that ‘the rest of the year’. [pensive look] I wonder if wishing upon the new star will make all the blechiness go away.
