The Serenity Prayer

Credits to: Serenity Prayer

This is my prayer everyday. I am born and raised in a Catholic family where in we were taught to pray the rosary, different other prayers, the life of Jesus and the Saints and I even served as an altar girl but this does not make me a good child of God. I knew all of this even before I went to a Catholic school.

But I "learned" about Him in my everyday battle today. I may not be going to church every Sunday unlike before and I may not say it out loud but He knows that in my heart I love Him with all of me.

How Can You Not Fall In Love with Aurora Borealis?

I have to see you before I die

FROM WIKIPEDIA:

An aurora (plural: auroras or aurorae) is a natural light display in the sky, particularly in the polar regions, caused by the collision of charged particles directed by the Earth's magnetic field. An aurora is usually observed at night and typically occurs in the ionosphere. It is also referred to as a polar aurora or, collectively, as polar lights. These phenomena are commonly visible between 60 and 72 degrees north and south latitudes, which place them in a ring just within the Arctic and Antarctic polar circles.^{[citation needed]} Auroras do occur deeper inside the polar regions, but these are infrequent and often invisible to the naked eye.

In northern latitudes, the effect is known as the aurora borealis (or the northern lights), named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas, by Pierre Gassendi in 1621.^[1] The chance of visibility of the aurora borealis increases with proximity to the North Magnetic Pole.^{[citation needed]} Auroras seen near the magnetic pole may be high overhead, but from farther away, they illuminate the northern horizon as a greenish glow or sometimes a faint red, as if the Sun were rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis most often occurs near the equinoxes. The northern lights have had a number of names throughout history. The Cree call this phenomenon the "Dance of the Spirits". In Europe, in the Middle Ages, the auroras were commonly believed a sign from God (see Wilfried Schröder, Das Phänomen des Polarlichts, Darmstadt 1984).

Its southern counterpart, the aurora australis (or the southern lights), has similar properties, but is only visible from high southern latitudes inAntarctica, South America, or Australasia. Australis is the Latin word for "of the South".

Auroras can be spotted throughout the world and on other planets. They are most visible closer to the poles due to the longer periods of darkness and the magnetic field.

Modern style guides recommend that the names of meteorological phenomena, such as aurora borealis, be uncapitalized.^[2

P.S.

I think I posted an entry a few months back about the Aurora Borealis but I couldn't find it. :) What I know is I've been fascinated by it since my childhood years. I hope to see one soon!
