Tuesday’s Supermoon Will Coincide With Partial Lunar Eclipse
Sky watchers are in for a treat this week as the moon prepares to put on quite a show. According to NASA, from Sept. 17 into Sept. 18, the full moon will be both a Harvest Moon and Supermoon. A Harvest Moon is the full moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox, and a Supermoon is when a full moon happens at its closest point to Earth. With both coinciding at the same time, this week’s full moon certainly will appear bigger and brighter than usual.
In addition, a partial lunar eclipse also occurring Sept. 17 may appear to take a chunk out of it. During a partial lunar eclipse, the moon falls under part of Earth's shadow. The moon is then illuminated by sunlight passing through our atmosphere, which can make it appear a light red color, according to NASA.

Embracing the mantra "Every day is a blessin’ or a lesson" can transform your perspective on life, fostering resilience, gratitude, and continuous growth. Here's some kind advice on how to fully integrate this thought into your daily life:
Start with Gratitude: Each morning, take a moment to reflect on what you're thankful for. This could be as simple as waking up, having a roof over your head, or the support of friends and family. This sets a positive tone for the day, reminding you that life itself is a blessing.
View Challenges as Opportunities: When faced with difficulties, remind yourself that this is a lesson. Instead of seeing obstacles as setbacks, consider them as setups for comebacks. What can you learn from this situation? How can this experience make you stronger or wiser?
Reflect Daily: At the end of each day, take a few minutes to reflect. What went well? What didn't? What did you learn? This practice helps in internalizing both the blessings and lessons, making them part of your growth narrative.
Share Your Insights: Sometimes, teaching or sharing what you've learned helps solidify your understanding. Discuss your daily lessons with friends, family, or even in a journal. This not only reinforces your learning but also might inspire others.
Cultivate Patience: Understanding that every lesson might not reveal its value immediately can teach patience. Some lessons take years to fully appreciate, so trust in the process.
Practice Mindfulness: Being present in the moment helps you appreciate the blessings and recognize the lessons as they occur. Mindfulness can be as simple as paying full attention to what you're doing, whether it's eating, walking, or working.
Embrace Change: This mindset naturally aligns with the understanding that life is dynamic. Embracing change as either a blessing or a lesson reduces fear and opens up possibilities for growth.
Help Others: Sometimes, the greatest lessons and blessings come from giving to others. Volunteer, help a neighbor, or simply listen to someone's problems. In helping others, you often find your own blessings.
Stay Humble: Remember, every lesson keeps you grounded, reminding you there's always more to learn. Every blessing should be met with humility, acknowledging that not all blessings are earned but are gifts.
Keep a Journal: Documenting your blessings and lessons can provide a tangible record of your growth. Over time, looking back at this journal can be incredibly motivating and enlightening.
By integrating this thought into your daily life, you're choosing to see life through a lens of positivity and growth. It encourages a proactive approach to life's ups and downs, reminding you that every experience, good or bad, is an integral part of your journey.
Remember, it's not just about surviving the day but thriving in it, learning from it, and being grateful for it!
