1. I love birds. I'm not sure when this began, exactly. Maybe when I was working in Delaware and driving down 95 everyday...seeing the pigeons lined up on the highway signs just gave me a chuckle. I never really noticed before then. I particularly love the little teenie birds (I think they're sparrows) we see here in Philly so often. I'm not sure what it is about them, but when I see them my heart just swells. They're so damn cute...I want to pick them up and kiss and hug them (I know, too small to do, but what can I say?). I was walking to work from my parking spot and passed a big dumpster filled with branches...and there were a ton of them just hanging out...chirping...I had to stop and watch them for a few minutes. I just get so much joy and a little peace when I see them. They're like little tiny reminders that my Creator is near.
2. I pick up pennies from the ground. I used to be embarrased to do this. They're only pennies, right? But a friend of mine once reminded me that on every piece of American currency, it says "In God We Trust" - another little 'reminder'...so I'm not embarrassed anymore...and the pennies add up!!
TGIF!!
I like the god reminder from the penny! I usually throw them away because I think they should be removed from circulation. Next time I'll say a prayer before I throw them away.
ReplyDeleteWhen I get home we will capture some birds so we can kiss and hug them!
