Better life

The birds are at my feeder with each breaking of dawn. They teach me a lesson each morning. Get up. Get going. And, don’t stop until it’s all done. Thank you birds for being my daily reminder. I think I’ll refill the feeder.

If you have a chance, get outside, sit and listen and watch. Let the hundreds of thoughts racing through your mind travel on through, don’t hitch a ride. The world will become brighter, life will be better. 

Today, I going to search for a rainbow, ride a puffy cloud, and dream big dreams.

My imagination is paying for the trip.

I read an online news story of a man and his wife giving a generous tip to a pregnant waitress. The act of kindness transformed the waitress’s day. It also made my day. It reinforced my belief that love transforms and love always wins. 

Take a moment to . . .

To savor the taste of the first cup of coffee.

To bask in the warmth of a hot shower.

To enjoy the smile of someone you love.

To gaze in wonder at the night sky.

Birds migrating by day use the Sun to navigate, adjusting their angle to the Sun as the Sun’s position moves from east to west. [Birds migrating by night]  orient to the North Star (Polaris),. . . . Polaris is stationary, however, and Cornell scientists determined that buntings can orient from Polaris or other constellations within 35 degrees of Polaris, especially the constellation Orion.

Keep your eyes and heart wide open for the joyful surprises life will spring upon you today. It may be as smalls as seeing a beautiful leaf fall from a tree. Perhaps someone you haven’t heard from in a while will text, email or call. And, best of all, maybe you will be the wonderful surprise that brightens another’s life today.
