My first inclination this morning was to jump on and a do a little grumble grumble post and be done with it for today. Now that I have a cup of coffee and have done my usual morning routine online I think today deserves better then that.
I have felt very moody the past month and I have no doubt that the changes going on inside me, and surgery and such, have contributed to it. I need to fight the good fight though and I really have to work to keep my spirits positive and upbeat and happy. That is really the kind of person I want to become more and more as the weight drops...so I need to get to it now! Funny thing is once I put forth just a bit of effort to do so...it takes over naturally and runs wild. I do love that.
Every morning I sit at my Mac at home (it's not just a computer.....it's a Mac Baby!!!) and look outside the window at the birds enjoying the feeder I have hung from the tree in my front yard. It never gets mundane to watch and the miracle that takes place every year never ceases to amaze me. The tree is just now opening its tiny little buds to reveal the edges of what will wind up being the most amazing and big maple leaves. These aren't your typical version of leaves either, they are variegated white and green leaves, and the year I bought this house and saw them open in the spring I was happily amazed! The tulips are budded and are also getting ready to open in the area they occupy down by the front sidewalk. They will be red though I have 1 yellow one that happens to be under the maple tree near a batch of daffodils that are now on the way out. I think the tulip prefers to hang with others that are similar and so it says the heck with type of flower....just call me mellow yellow.
Looking out my window today, with it being Earth Day....oh, I must interrupt myself to mention that Mr. Squirley has just showed up for the day. He happens to share the feeder with the birds. He is rather respectful though and focuses on the food on the ground instead of attempting to attack the feeder itself and cause havoc. I think he has looked into my eyes through the window glass and realizes doing so would not work out for him. LOL Where was I? Oh yeah, it being Earth Day and all I cannot help but take a moment to really cherish some of the things that bring me great joy....but I guess just sharing what little I did about my tree and flowers and birds and Mr. Squirley has nicely accomplished that, and allowed me to share it with you too.
On that note....this really is going to be a Good Friday and I wish blessings and a little something special for everyone today. Do make sure and go outside for a bit and if you can manage it....do a little something special to recognize Earth Day....she deserves it from us a whole lot!!!!
