Randomness

Happy New Year! I don't know about you, but I suffer from a fair amount of randomness. Thoughts ping-pong around in my mind, constantly going back and forth from things I should do, have done, want to do, don't want to do, find interesting, etc. It's terribly distracting. As a remedy, I think I will share some of that randomness with you. Life's variety is what makes it interesting, they say. Subsequently, here's a bit of randomness to season your day:

January's full moon is known as the "Wolf Moon." FarmersAlmanac.com explains that names for the full moons come from the Indian tribes of the Northern and Eastern United States. The website says, "Amid the cold and deep snows of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside Indian villages. Thus, the name for January’s full Moon. Sometimes it was also referred to as the Old Moon, or the Moon After Yule. Some called it the Full Snow Moon, but most tribes applied that name to the next Moon."

Happy Thursday!
