Resolve Once In A Blue Moon To Be Your Best

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty 0575737

HowlOK, this new year is your chance. Once in a Blue Moon. Literally. Let astronomer Gary, another hat I wear clue you in.

Resolve Once In A Blue Moon To Be Your Best.

What is a blue moon? It is not blue, but two full moons in one month. Guess what? It is happening New Year's Eve. Full Moon December 2nd and December 31st.

Only happens on this date in this month every nineteen years so you will have to wait for 2028 for the next one lined up like this. Blue moons indicate typically something rare. You are rare. No one ever like you before or since.

So if I may borrow from my team leader Anne Lakusta some good things to RESOLVE for yourself at the blue moon point:

RESOLVE, to build and cherish relationships.

RESOLVE, to actively look for, prepare for and indeed, expect opportunities.  

RESOLVE, to say thank you to those who matter or have mattered to you.

RESOLVE, to help someone else achieve their goals, or find their self-worth.

RESOLVE, to overcommunicate using only positive and possibilities, not negativity or blame.

RESOLVE, to dare to be your best.  Wholeheartedness is contagious.

RESOLVE, to learn and to change.  There is no other way forward or up.

                                Happy New Year 2010!!

Gary,

Waiting another 19 years could be out of the question, so I better enjoy it now. Just a couple of hourse ago I drove to the beach with my wife, and we watched the glimmering ocean under a full moon in the clear sky.

This blue moon is not just the start of a new year, but a new decade. I like "expect opportunities." Here we go into 2010!

Happy New Year Gary, great resolutions to try for.  I'm adding one more as a result of your blog.  Try to get the old 'blue moon' song out of my mind now that I keep humming it.

Gary - I am sad to say, we might not get to see the blue moon tonight. It will be hiding behind the clouds. However, I would like to resolve all of those things that your team leader Anne has suggested just the same. Have a very Happy New Year!

Hi Gary:

Fantastic post!  Happy New Year to you as well.

We were just talking about the blue moon and how unfortunate to not be able to see it, due to the weather conditions here.
