Crazy is the forecast all week

Look. I know what I said about making my own lunches.

But, I just didn't feel like physically eating something today. So I'm just going to drink my lunch.

Unfortunately it looks like rain is on the menu for most of this week. Sitting in the sun was like a warm hug, and for some reason it felt inspiring to me. Hopefully it'll be sunny next week.

I watched the space day Snapchat, featuring astronaut Tim Kopra. He introduces himself, and the next two snaps were short clips of his view of the earth. Like most people, I've seen photographs of Earth from outer space, and it looks cool enough, but for some reason watching Kopra's clip, I got a much better sense of the magnitude of our planet. I felt a tightness in the chest, a true moment of awe.

Of course, the planet is huge, but most human beings will never truly get to feel that kind of perspective that Kopra appreciates on a daily basis. I have to admit, it made me feel sad. That will be something I'll likely never get to experience. If I kept a bucket list, I would certainly add "see Earth from the ISS" as one of those items. Then again, what would be the point of adding something to a bucket list you could never accomplish? You could say, "Well, Rachel, you'll just need to do what it takes to make your dream a reality."

And you might be right.

I was going to add something here along the lines of, "In other news...." however, I don't think I have anything else to say! Hope you enjoyed your lunch break (for those of you working a standard work day).

Until next time!
