Thursday Thoughts


Eurasian Collared-Dove

Many times before I have claimed how surprising it is,
 that I enjoy watching birds.
Years ago I would not thought that for me.
Now I know it come full circle, nature is a part of life.

Thirty nine years ago I lived in the city.
I never noticed anything except for what I thought,
was a hectic busy life on the road of Los Angeles.
The decision to move was mainly for our two small children.
There are no regrets on moving away from people, friends and family.
Especially knowing what I know now about myself.


The biggest memory for me was lots of cement and grey.
I never knew about blue skies or clean air.
 The stillness of quiet, slower paces.
Forests, plants, vivid colors, the sun and the moon.
Seeing animals I had never seen wandering.
From that point I learned how to enjoy the outside world.
I owe that to my husband.
The point of this is later in life a person does a lot of life review.
Today it is all about what I notice around me.
