Hear The Birds?

For your consideration…..

Today we are asked two questions; “Did you hear the birds singing?” and “Why do you think they are singing?”

I immediately think of my Grandmother who would always stack the dishes in the sink after dinner. She refused any offer to wash them. Because she liked to “get up with the birds and wash them while they sang.” It was her morning routine. It was her “me” time.

Birds sing upon awakening to a new day. Do you think for one second they are mourning the day(s) past? No, they are harkening a new dawn, a new day, as should we.

We are reminded that yesterday is gone. Yesterday has prepared us for today. Be excited. Welcome this day in celebration fully expecting the new opportunities ready to present themselves if we are open to them….anticipating them.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…..

-Meditate. Breath into stillness.

-Drink lots of water.

-Take in at least 10 deep breaths outdoors. Listen to nature. Hear Mother Earth.

-Journal the highlights of your day. What are you grateful for? What surprised you about today?

What made me smile yesterday…..

-Breakfast at the club with friend, Carol, is always a good start to a Sunday morning.

-AJ was so handsome making his First Communion.

-Relaxing fun and dinner with family and friends in celebration of AJ.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
