HI,
I was watching some really neat looking birds at my bird feeder this morning.
Just all busy with pecking around, taking turns, almost seeming happy.
It came to mind that if I wanted to continue to enjoy those little critters I
would need to continue putting food in the feeder.
My part in My joy!.

Puttin' Along,
Toad

I like that, Toad. I also like how you are able to observe yourself & your actions from a distance. I respect that...very Taoist.

My home office overlooks our dock where the egrets, herons, ospreys, pelicans and other water birds fish off of. We have cherry tree at one of our other houses (that we lived in for 13 years). Every summer a bazillion red breasted robins gorge themselves on the cherries and it makes them drunk. It goes on for days. smile.gif

vvvv not my dock wink

I love watching birds feed...fish too. I just bought myself a small aquarium and it is doing a lot for my serenity and enjoyment! Simple pleasures, how fantastic to be able to see, feel, appreciate, share. Sober. Hmmm...must be a correlation there!

I just bought a 500 watt underwater dock light to attract fish Lee. It's a big aquarium

I get it, Toad. You fed the birds and they fed your Joy. Nice.

Peace,
Rob

Aquadude, I believe that toad was making an analogy. If he wants to continue to enjoy the birds feeding then he must maintain the beed feeder. As in, if we want to continue enjoying our sobriety, serenity.... we must maintain our spiritual condition (meetings, steps, prayers, helping others)
