Morning Reflections
The Joy of Being a Human Perch
This morning was pure joy. The pigeons came from every direction—fluttering in with so much excitement, landing on my arms and shoulders like I was their favorite perch. Nothing makes me happier than starting the day surrounded by their energy. Even people who usually don’t like birds can’t help but smile when they see them. It’s contagious. We need more of that in the world—small, unexpected joys that bring people together. Out on the water, the pelicans looked like they were surfing, gliding along the waves with such grace. I love watching them when they’re fishing; they look so free and focused, like they’re exactly where they’re meant to be. Honey Girl took her usual spot on my shoulder, keeping close, and Pegleg showed up right on time—looking at me with that familiar gaze, waiting for his peanuts. These little connections, the rhythms of nature and friendship, are such a beautiful reminder of how magical the morning can be.
Morning Gratitude Thought:
Start your day with joy and let it ripple out into the world.
