Today, I was reminded to look deep inside the gray for the joy of the every day. Today I was happy. It was that feeling of forgetting all my troubles for a minute and relishing the satisfaction of having a few things all into place that I've been working on and praying about. They're just little things but seeing results made me practically giddy. I took the time to celebrate my joy by singing songs of thanks Loudly in my house. My dogs jumped around as I came down the stairs and danced to my noisy approach.
I hurried off to help at my sons' school. As I got close to the large elementary front door I heard a little bird declaring its presence for everyone to hear. It was singing in it's crystal clear voice quite emphatically. I looked up and there it was, high up on the flagpole, above California's bear flag and Old Glory. The flagpole had a large ball on top and that was where this tiny songstress was perched. There was bird poop at her feet but she was celebrating fully in her best voice. It made me laugh out loud with happiness. I was being serenaded and it was grand.
"Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
I love that you're happy, and that small things can make you happy! That's a very good thing. :-)
