A couple of nights ago, there was a full moon and an eclipse. It made the news, and those lucky enough to have clear skies and the correct time zone were able to enjoy it.

The next night, though, was the real show stopper!

I was in the den, just jumping on my rebounder, when suddenly the bay windows transferred a beautiful light from outside into my view.

I had to go outside – and the immediately I noticed the very air was transformed by a radiance I have not seen in many years.

In my suburban locale, the sky above was every shade of pink and purple, and somehow yellow and orange as well. Everything looked different. I felt different. I knew I was seeing something special.

After a while, the sky started to fade away into darkness, and I retreated into the warmth of my den again.

Within minutes, my social media was flooded with pictures of the sky – from my nearby suburbs, to the inter coastal areas, to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico.

Soon, more stunning sunset photos were coming from southern states around me, and even into the Midwest.

I saw a few pictures of the blood moon, but I saw dozens and dozens of pictures of that magical sunset.

One big, beautiful sky, shared by all of us.

It was magical!
