Shooting Star

I was just on my balcony enjoying the quiet and my first cup of coffee and thinking what could be better. I was looking at a very bright star in the sky when all of a sudden I saw a shooting star.
I haven't seen a shooting star since I lived in Vegas. I used to see one all the time there. The one tonight is the first one I've seen since we left Vegas. The odd thing is this one went sideways whereas the ones I saw in Vegas were always going straight down. Anyway, I was very excited to see one this morning.
Today has been a week since I started my diet. I was surprised when I got on the scale this morning and I had lost a total of 6 pounds for the week. My daily calories are set at 1350 a day and I was afraid it might be too much but it seems to be working for me. I haven't been very good at exercising because of the pain in my feet but I will try to do better next week.
Well, so far my day has started out really exciting. I hope the rest of the day is just as good. I also hope everyone on mylot has a great day as well.

I saw a shooting star a month or so ago.
They are beautiful.
I have never seen one falling straight down, usually they are headed sideways in a downward path.
I hope that you were able to make a wish on it.
You're really doing great on your diet.

@bunnybon7 So do I. It can get really hot in the summer so you don't do errands until the sun goes down.

Did you imagine a wish?
people here say that one needs to imagine a wish then.
I am always surprised when I see a shooting star, every time as if it were my first.
In the month of August we have a night called the 'rain of meteors' and at that night we can see the falling stars non-stop.

Congratulations on the weight loss. If the "star" was going sideways, maybe it was a satellite???

It's a belief here in our country that if you make a wish watching a shooting star, it might be fulfilled.

It's been a while since I saw one maybe it's because I pay less attention to the sky these days ...
In our old time stories we where made to believe that wizards travel on them so when u see one kids would shout at anything hoping a wizard could do something magical..
Well it never happened lol

@simone10 Shooting stars are always swift. Wish the one you hold in your heart, when another comes along.
