I'm an average woman on this planet, no worse no better. I guess most of us have the same problems and thoughts day after day. I'm as many of you have lots of things to take care of during the day that my brain often doesn't respond to my command promptly (works as a bad computer). This daily routine takes over me, but sometimes little things, like today's, change everything. I got an email from my husband today saying that I'm the best woman and wife in this world, that his life became meaningful when we got married... I started crying when I read these words.. crying from happiness and wondering if I'm a good wife indeed. I try and do my best, but I also remember about many nights that I've burned dinner (you can ask my husband too), I know how many laundry is sitting in my washroom and how many dishes in the sink (you don't even need use your binoculars to be able to see both of them). I spend a lot of time for myself focusing on my bizzar ideas about diets and exercises (my husband only laughs when I say that I start a new diet), that sometimes don't have time to simply sit down with my husband and share our days. I remember of all the times I said bad words and did bad things to my husband, yes I remember and I regret about them. I try to be better, but I'm not perfect. Do you recognize yourself in any of this? But here is a good news for you.Yet knowing all this, my husband (as well as yours) still thinks that I am a good wife. I feel so loved and blessed. After this I thought that maybe being a good wife doesn't have anything to do with my burned dinners and piles of dirty clothes. Maybe it's simply about loving and being loved???

When looking at the starry sky for the very first time at dark moonless night, it can seem that there are extremely many stars on the sky, and there is no possible way to count them all. You can’t even find yourself in this universe, not speaking about anything else. But to a big surprise, you eye suddenly starts organizing some of the stars into different figures of various shapes. That's exactly what our ancestors did. By watching the constellations, stars and planets they were creating the clock and compiling the calendar. (what we use today not even thinking about it) For you to know, the first star clusters – constellations- were discovered as early as in Ancient Babylon times (though maybe even earlier).
On a clear night sky with unaided eye you can see about 6000 stars at a time. All stars are devided between 88 constellations. At ancient times the word "constellation" was associated with any star figure, which was created by people and later on personified into real character. Today the sky is devided into sections with distinct boundaries.
The most ancient are said to be the constellations of the Zodiac zone, as a matter of fact many of them have "animal" names such as Aries, Taurus, Leo, Capricorn, etc. By the way, the word "Zodiac", translated from ancient Greek, means "animal circle". Ancient Greece opened to this world a huge atronomical body. For better understanding and remembering names of constellations there were many poetic myths written about them.
Nowadays when we take binoculars and look at the sky, we don't even think or maybe don't know these stories. But for me it’s very interesting to read and learn more. Though we will never be able to learn everything, all the secrets and mysteries of this wonderful world, but at least we can see our part and imagine the rest.
