LOVE IS THE ANSWER.

I woke up feeling nostalgic today.  I'm usually an early-riser who wakes-up with a lot of energy, a happy heart,  and...a long to-do list.  TODAY, I'm allowing some time to feel grateful.  

 SO...the sun is shining....I've fed the Deer, the Birds, the Squirrels, and even a baby Frog who hopped-up on the porch...beside me. At last, it's time for my usual glass of Instant Breakfast and a Granola Bar.

There was a time when I'd have been too-busy to worry about breakfast for my outside friends but no-long are my mornings simply "mornings"!  Now...I can't begin any morning by first... eating my breakfast.  I can only eat AFTER I've fed my always-hungry, always-faithful, patiently-waiting....outside friends!

And my world isn't "silent"....anymore. Birds "sing" their greetings and their thanks; Deer faithfully-join me from their hiding places and.. an occasional Bear might-unexpectedly-make an appearance at the always-crowded--- Breakfast Table!

Everywhere I look...I see and hear squirrels, chipmunks, birds of all sizes and colors and----all I can say is "THANK YOU GOD". You put me exactly-where I'm needed-- welcomed-- and loved.

“ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL....ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL.

ALL THINGS WISE AND WONDERFUL...THE LORD GOD MADE THEM ALL”

My Dear Friends, I urge you to..stop, look, listen ...and enjoy.... the natural beauty around us all. If you live far from nature, make the effort to visit the countryside or walk to a nearby park but...seriously- search for four-legged friends and the multitude of feathered-friends who "fly through the air with the greatest of ease".   Let them put a smile on your face....and a song in your heart.  I promise you will soon "fall in love" all-over-again.
