Full Moon

Tonight is a Full Moon. 

My Starz today courtesy of Oscar Cainer:

When you're trapped in a situation it's reassuring to remember that nothing lasts forever. Sometimes it just feels as if it does. We can feel confined by the very familiarity of our lives, which keeps us walking on the same old path when we could be exploring new horizons. Even though you can see the advantages of a routine, you're feeling worn out by its repetitiveness. As the full moon arrives, you can take a risk. An adventure can be yours if you have the courage to take it.

We went to Bribie Island for the day. 

Chikako's first ever visit and I had not been there since 2003. 

Much has changed ..... 

 We had a light lunch @ Woorim Beach on a beautiful Autumnal day. 

An Ibis came to visit. 

Then we took a walk along the beach and foreshore.

Lovely house, indeed.

Oscar Cainer wrote today's Starz

for Cancerians:

Sometimes it feels as if several important strands of your life are out of control. It depends though, on how you interpret recent events. Although there have been some close shaves, deep within you've retained a quiet feeling of confidence. The question is whether you feel able to trust it? And if you trust it can you nurture it? The answer depends on where you're placing your faith. If you hold onto the idea that all will be well, you have every right to expect that it will be.

A thousand percent accurate ! 

Dinner.
