Good morning my friend, he says, sounding happy and full of energy. I don’t respond, but nod my head in acknowledgement.
It’s sunny and the wind is light, fishing is easy, he continues, looking cheerful. I don’t feel jolly or see anything exceptionally bright in this situation. It’s just a normal Monday morning with the whole work week ahead. Lots of fishing to put food on the table, many mouths to feed, nest to repair.
Still waiting for my response, he moves closer and whispers in my ear: Don’t you worry about tomorrow, you have today and that’s all you’ll need. Think about it, he says smiling, you have the gift of this day, use it well my friend.
Then he taps me lightly on my wing, smiles again, and walks away.

Too often we throw away that gift. Not only by choosing to waste the time we have but also by not being 100% present in what we do.
So true Maurice. I have to remind myself constantly.
Very sweet, and very true… 🙂
Thanks Carolyn, have a wonderful Tuesday 🙂
What a great message! I’m actually writing my next post and it’s about what we can learn from the birds. 😀 Hope you’ll like it. Thank you Tiny for this wonderful reminder! May this day be savoured completely. Sharon
