Falling Star

Thursday night, shortly after 7 PM, I was walking into the building where the book club that I attend, meets.  I looked up at the sky, facing west, and saw a shooting star, a bright ball of light going north, and then, fizzling out.  

I did not make a wish, and I never even thought to tell my colleagues in the book club.  But seeing a falling star is not a common experience for me, although I have seen some in the past.

It was awesome, and I was pleased, but not over excited.  I just don't get over excited much any more.  That is okay, I appreciated being able to see the falling star.
