So friends, I have my cup full--chocolate mint tea! and now where to begin...
Once upon a time there was a bird with some big opinions. This bird flew when it was nice weather, cozied up in its nest when it was grey and wet, and sung when it was happy. The little bird was distracted from time to time with other creatures, struggling for their own happiness or time in the sun. What time had taught this bird was that no matter who you were, where you came from, or how your time was spent, nothing mattered most than your own journey. The judging from the branches would only lead in the end to an empty heart and in enters CLARITY; everyone was a work in progress. Life was a work in progress. Gathering memories on the way, creating new routes for their course. All anyone ever really has is the brief moments of personal contentment. Be it in a warm sun, or flying in a fresh breeze, or taking a comforting soak--any and all that makes one feel alive. The once naive little bird was now very aware of all that surround its tree. The power that those around the bird once had in making the bird feel anything negative, fell away... There was more important things to feel. There was so many fantastic emotions, and those that realize this early, are the lucky ones.
Focus on your own happiness little birdies! You will be grateful... I am.
Your Friend,
Carrie
