Blue Bird

It was a little hard getting out of bed today.  My body was feeling all the weekend activities and all I wanted to do was roll over and sleep more.  I pushed myself out of the bed got cleaned up and went to the kitchen.  I was reminded of the great party we had for my son last night.  As I cleaned up the kitchen I thought about the great food and guest we had over it really was great.  Then I made their lunches and mine I started to smile thinking about the day.  Finally everything was ready and I went outside to put the trash cans to the curb. 

As I was walking I heard all the birds singing.  I kind of laughed as I was humming an old tune to myself, Zippy doodah. When I turned back and started coming down the drive way I even heard more birds.  I thought wow those birds are up and singing a tune.  I am so grateful for those wonderful birds, I thought for a moment I feel like I live in a jungle with all these birds.  I hummed my happy tune and went in the house.  I was ready now to get going to work.

The funny thing is when I first woke up I just wanted was to sleep part of the day away.  I was tried and not really excited about the day ahead.  All it took to change my mind was a few birds singing and feeling joy again.  See I tell you joy is all around us, we just need to wake up and stop look and listen.  You will find it too.  Now go out and enjoy your day.

Much joy and love to you and yours.
