Feeling Hopeful
BOOK 08, CHAPTER 4, PAGE 30
All of Spring proclaims the Hope
God gives our hearts
Both the hummingbird and the vulture fly
over our nation's deserts.
All vultures see is rotting meat,
because that is what they look for.
They thrive on that diet.
But hummingbirds ignore the smelly flesh
of dead animals.
Instead, they look for the colorful
blossoms of desert plants.
The vultures live on what was.
They live on the past.
They fill themselves with what is dead and gone.
But hummingbirds live on what is.
They seek new life. They fill themselves
with freshness and life.
Each bird finds what it is looking for.
We all do.

GOOD MORNING !
OVER THE HUMP DAY
Mid week always seems a bit of struggle. I’m always glad when this day is past and I know the work week will soon end. The 5 days of work are now grandly compensated by my little place in the woods, but those 5 days seem awful long sometimes.
Yes, just like the hummer in the little story above, we all do find what we’re looking for. Oh, if only I could understand the faith of the hummingbird. She sits on her perch and belts out a song of joy and exuberance. She has not a care in the world. Her only desire is to let creation know that she is alive and well
My little song is not so exuberant for sure
I owe, I owe
It’s off to work I go….
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Go outside, to the fields, enjoy nature
and the sunshine, go out and try to recapture
happiness in yourself and in God.
Think of all the beauty that’s still left in
and around you and be happy!
Anne Frank
In this season of renewal and rejuvenation
May your spirit soar high and
May you be blessed
Not just today, but always.
Wishing you a beautiful SPRING !

Even though those Vultures don't seek the same things as Hummers, we must be grateful for what they contribute to our world.
I'm working today, too. I don't know how you do the Mon-Fri schedule. I couldn't do that. I haven't done that for YEARS!

As always, you lift my spirits! The beautiful wisdom
of that precious girl, Anne Frank, touched me.
Her indominable spirit shows in her words, knowing
she was captive but her heart and soul were free.
Thank you for sharing. Have a great day. Pat
