Every day you are presented with amazing, enjoyable opportunities. You can choose what you want to enjoy and what you want to pass up. Just like a smorgasbord!

Good things are always coming. Sometimes the good things are so quiet you miss them completely. Sometimes they are so loud, you can ignore them.

Last week I went into our side private garden. I was amused by a robin who was under a bush yet looking directly at me, squawking. I looked down at my garden and tried to let the bird have its space. I decided I better go back in the house. But as I looked back at the bird, I saw 3 deer just beyond the fence on the hill. They too were looking at me but didn’t run away. It was pretty magical for me.

The next day I went out to the yard and a robin flew off from the corner of the porch. I was curious what the bird was doing in the corner of the ledge of the porch.

It was a nest. I quickly went back in the house. The robin went back to the nest and settled in. This was pretty special to me!

I realized there were eggs and I realized not only was their a female robin, there was a doting male robin. It is clear to me good things are coming!

It got me to thinking how lucky I am to have numerous experiences to choose from. I believe this is true for everyone. And now that we know what we don’t want: coronavirus, we can choose what we do want. I’ll have a conversation more about this in upcoming days.

For now I’m going to play with the opportunities I am given today, as I physically distant myself (since March 11th) ! Best to you wherever you are.
