For the birds...


 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, 
so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.~Romans 15:13

Some days you wake up and your world just doesn't gel. Nothing works right, nothing acts right, nothing feels right. Those days are the days I say are for the birds. That was my day yesterday.
We all have them. Those days where you'd rather lie in bed. In fear if you touch something it will break.. Sometimes we need cheered up to go on.
Yesterday,  I got up. but what I  really wanted was to stay like I said curled up in my cozy bed. But I knew laundry and dishes awaited. Along with the barking dog that would not be quiet ... He had to pee-pee. So up I got. Out I took the dog and then it was his breakfast time. Got to love the pup, he keeps me in line. Past the window I go... I stopped dead in my tracks. there they were... 2 beautiful cardinals. I of course grabbed my camera and started shooting. Right there through my window. I was so honored to see them. Their presence was known,their fire engine red feathers shined brightly through the foggy sky. I was amazed at how a $4.99 bag of bird seed  had changed my attitude.  Now I was happy to be up. I was excited to see what photographs I could get. Everything I had felt just minutes before, the not wanting to move or deal with the world, not feeling right.. now,I felt fine. I felt like the world was a fine place to be in now. I sat and watched numerous species come in and out of the bird feeders. I truly got nothing else done for admiring the birds.
 I guess we all need a bird day. A day to enjoy what God has given us . The beauty of the sun shinning , the sound of the birds chirping. It is beautiful.. the birds were exactly what I needed to make me smile. So My day truly was "for the birds". God knew what I needed. He gave it to me. I am blessed.
