July Full Moon

Yesterday's full moon was also my son's first birthday. I wanted to take him to the park -- to the same place my husband and I took him on the first full moon after he was born to introduce him to the Goddess and God -- but it rained all day. Instead, I put him to sleep last night and laid beside him and talked while he slept.

I renewed my promise to pledge for him to the Goddess and God until he is old enough to make his own choices. I thanked them for his health and happiness. I asked for help in being a good mother and in enjoying each stage he goes through, then letting them go. I asked for foresight to make good choices on his behalf.
