We are all specks on a speck!

Picture
At the closing of last year, I watched a documentary on PBS entitled, "The Farthest Voyager in Space".  What impressed me the most was when, after photographing all the planets in our solar system, NASA scientists programmed Voyager to turn around and capture a picture of Earth, our home planet.  What they found, after looking very hard for some time, was a very pale blue dot within a sunbeam.  We humans are literally specks on a speck!  This made me think about how insignificant my daily 'frets' are, in the grand scheme of things.  This thought then led to feelings of peace.  Here at SFCFM, we wish you a very happy and peaceful New Year, one that is filled with many wakeful moments!
