I have a small bird house hanging from my large live oak tree. A male and female couple built a bird nest inside the bird house. Eggs have been laid and hatched. I watch the male and female flitting back and forth to the bird house with bits of food in their mouths working non stop.

And, sing while you are doing it!

All the experts tell us to set goals and work to achieve the goals. When we achieved the goals, set new goals and work to achieve them. Sounds like a broken record.
