I had a card deck of all the planets and spent so much time looking at it. I wish I still had it. My mom used to throw stuff out every time we moved, and even though it makes me sad, I get it. They had four kids in a 2-bedroom apartment in NYC until we upsized and had the luxury of a third bedroom! Of course, that room went to my brother, the only male with three sisters.
So long story short, I had to let go of a lot of "stuff" that I loved. I think that's why I keep so much "stuff" now. Sometimes I wish someone would sneak in when I wasn't around and get rid of "stuff" like my mom did. It would make it easier to let go...
But back to the planets, I digress.
I think it's time to revisit that love of astronomy. When we "grow up," we forget so much of what made us happy. And now, with this digital world, we get so distracted.
I loved star gazing, and I need to do more of it. Maybe it's time to plan a trip to a planetarium!
