An Angry Bird

For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness. 

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Of course this Mockingbird wasn't really angry - but he looked like it - and the "foot stomp" added to the look.

Similar but Different

Both of these are birds (of course), both are females and both are woodpeckers.   The one of the left is a Downy Woodpecker and on the right is a Red-bellied Woodpecker - 

and they both LOVE the Suet on Snowy days!

Share our similarities, celebrate our differences. 

~ M. Scott Peck

 

Downy Woodpecker Wings

It is not where we are going or where we have been.

Sometimes the beauty 

is in that very moment....   

the spreading of our wings.

His Best Side Perhaps?

I wake up every morning 
with a great desire to live joyfully.
