Have you ever wondered why cherry blossoms are such a wonder to behold during the spring time? Just like Groundhog Day depicts an animal proving if it has a shadow or not, only to determine if we will get another month of winter or not; Cherry Blossoms and an Eclipse are moments in history that everyone takes time to experience.

Cherry blossoms, also known as sakura in Japan, are delicate and elegant flowers with five petal clusters. These blossoms, which can be white or shades of pink, create a breathtaking spectacle when they blanket trees in shimmering hues. Their fleeting beauty symbolizes the transient nature of life and the preciousness of each moment. In Japan, the tradition of hanami, or flower viewing, involves gathering under cherry blossom trees to appreciate their ephemeral splendor.

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, blocking all or part of the sun's light. This phenomenon is special because it's a rare celestial event that captivates people worldwide. It's a reminder of the precision and predictability of astronomical phenomena, and it has inspired awe and wonder throughout history. Additionally, solar eclipses offer valuable opportunities for scientific research and observation.

In such bloom, the power of the sun and the forces of the moon become one in its quest. Shining in its opulence, all gather to see the beauty that is our solar system. From bright to dark, sunlight to shady white, all believe various phenomina occurs upon a sight of such eclipse. Not all are able to observe the solar eclipse and some areas may even be difficult to witness. In a one in a lifetime experience, documentation of such momentous occasion is to be realized. Like a shooting star, we wish for things and celebrate with the children.

I have never flown since Covid. Especially alone. I’ve always traveled with family mostly and so when the opportunity to travel was presented, I took it. Now don’t get me wrong, traveling with others is fun and being able to not do much besides proving your fair share is less stress. This time I’m doing everything. The flight, the hotel and the travels in between. As a great organizer I’ve packed well enough. Setup what may be needed when I get to my destination. I exit the Uber. I enter the airport. A sigh of relief overflows me. Flashbacks of when I was here, as an employee.

When one travels there’s always something to consider. Whether it’s toiletries, clothes or even essentials like a wallet and ID. For me, it was making sure I’m mentally prepared. Now don’t get me wrong, making sure your hotel and flight are taken care of are top priority on the list of must haves. In this case, that is already confirmed and paid and what’s left is figuring out everything else. As an over thinker I think about too much about things. When it comes to travel, it’s no exception. With traveling, it’s very beneficial.

Traveling as an over thinker helps makes sure you tackle your basis on things that can induce anxiety and unwanted pressure. Making sure your flight has no reroutes and making sure you have packed the right essentials. By this I mean any vitamins or meds that you normally take, as well as packing the right clothes. Now for me, I was traveling for a wedding reception but because it was Arizona, it would be hot. Fortunately for me it wasn’t as hot as everyone made it out to be during the event. Humidity would not be a thing which is a godsend. The days where the sun would arise, it was brutal.
