Whimsy

 

The cardinal perched on the wire singing to me.

I decided to name him Charles Stanley. 

I thanked Charles for singing as he flew off into the tree

only to return with two Charles Stanley Jr.'s for a fly over.

Grandma A (the chick-a-dee) was on the feeder eating her seed, and having a

chat with me, while Bob (Brown Thrasher) was in the corner trying to 

call my attention to Polly sneaking around the 

brush pile towards him.

Me, Summer of 73

That's what happens when I let my imagination loose,

 and decide to add little whimsy 

and fun to my life. 

"Learn to take good care of your mind, body, heart and soul.

Meditate, spend time alone, take a walk 

and explore nature with your senses.

Write about your thoughts and feelings,

do something you're passionate about.

Go out with your friends, laugh, dance, be silly,

be weird, be playful, be childlike.

Do all the things that bring you joy and laughter.

Treat yourself with kindness, love and compassion

and learn to express your gratitude for the many gifts

life offered you up until this moment.

Take your focus away from those things that cause you to feel pain,

stress, anxiety, fear and unhappiness, onto those things that

make your heart sing, onto those things that make you happy."

be well...

xoxo
