Morning Reflections
Welcomed by Wings…
Some mornings don’t begin with words. They begin with wings.
The moment I stepped onto the pier, the birds were already flying toward me from every direction. They lined up along the railing, waiting with the kind of excitement that never gets old. It’s one of those feelings that’s almost impossible to describe. It fills my heart every single time.
Today was a little different. I had run out of shelled peanuts, so breakfast was birdseed and peanuts still in their shells. They happily accepted them, although I could tell Honey Girl wasn’t impressed. She flew in from behind me, just like she always does, looked around for her favorite treats, and let me know with her expression that birdseed wasn’t going to cut it! Thankfully, my peanut order should arrive today, so I’ll make it up to her later.
Pegleg was there to greet me, Moo the smiling little dog stopped by to say hello, and Adonis was in his usual spot, watching over everything from above.
Today’s quote said:
“Ask for more. The universe isn’t on a budget.”
Standing there surrounded by so much life and joy, I realized the universe had already answered that request. It gave me another morning filled with wagging tails, familiar wings, ocean waves, and hearts that somehow recognize one another.
I couldn’t ask for a better way to start the day.
Grateful. 🤍
Capturing beauty, sharing light.
