Little happy things...

Whoa...it's been a while since I posted anything here. I suppose Jacob's page takes precedence over mine :)

The other day, I was just having a cranky day. No real good reason, I guess. Just the general disappointment that I'm sure everyone experiences at some point in their lives. I needed to change my thinking from negative to more positive thoughts, and one of the first things I thought of was talking to Mick. Lately, every time I talk to him he makes me feel like a better person. He is making such a successful effort in being positive, thankful, compassionate...just talking with him usually inspires me to feel better in general. But, it was late at night before I had a chance to sit and chat on the phone, and with a 3 hour time difference I always hesitate to call anyone in the evening. So, I thought about him and what he would say to make me feel more uplifted. And then I went to bed. And then I woke up to my phone ringing with Mick on the other end of the line. And he made my day start off beautifully.

To deny that people are connected on a level beyond our understanding seems crazy to me.

And the other neat thing (sort of)...my little finches have been making a LOT of noise lately. I moved their cage last week when I rearranged the living room, and I thought that perhaps they were just excited about the change of scenery. Well, they might be, but they are so loud because they have doubled in number. There are three baby birds in on of the nests!

I'm not sure what exactly I thought would happen when I bought a male and a female. I suppose I thought it would take some time for them to procreate, but no...the miracle of life has once again touched my home, and now I have 6 finches. Should this activity continue, guess what everyone is getting for Christmas this year!!!

I'm off to pack for our trip to Monterrey. I'm pretty excited about the aquarium...and just being somewhere I've never been before.
