Morning Reflections


Personalities in Feathers…

This morning was absolutely beautiful. The sun glimmered off the water like scattered diamonds, and the clouds puffed up like soft thoughts drifting across the sky. The pigeons were bursting with excitement—fluttering, cooing, full of life. Pegleg greeted me faithfully, Honey Girl perched on my shoulder, and now Raven has joined the morning ritual, her energy unmistakable. I love how they each have their own personalities. I’ve watched them grow, watched them learn to trust me, and it fills me with joy. They all have their preferences, just like we do. The ravens love peanuts in the shell—maybe for the challenge, maybe for the satisfaction. The seagulls have grown used to the easy route, preferring them already opened. And the pigeons? Birdseed is lovely, but peanuts are the ultimate treat. They light up with joy when they get one. It’s amazing how much life you can witness in a handful of moments. I love starting my day this way—with connection, with laughter, with gratitude. We’re all living our little lives together. And I am so grateful.


Morning Gratitude Thought:

Grateful for shimmering water, puffy clouds, and birds with personalities. Grateful for Pegleg, Honey Girl, Ravenna—and the joy of knowing what makes each heart flutter.
