Finding your Blue Bird of Happiness

 

Juvenile Eastern Bluebird,
Keller, TX

Lately, I've come to the realization that I truly don't want to miss out; there's lots happening around me. My senses are awakened by a deluge of news. It seems like I am living in a real life soap opera with villainous political characters and plenty of betrayal over greed, hate, and racism. All are in the mix and soap continues, renews for another season. Religious folk whom I've trusted, simply choose not to become involved because their agenda, abortion rights and all things gay have been addressed. Human rights are not their concern, it seems to me. The rest of us wait for someone else to take care of it. Democracy is more than one issue. It's about our pursuit of happiness.

And so I walk to both exercise George and restore my own sanity. Yesterday, I discovered this bluebird, he was just around the corner. Just what if your happiness is right there and all that's required of you is to just have open up your heart, your mind, and all of your senses. Happiness is fleeting like this bird. Yet it is there.

Make a conscious effort to find it. Get involved with your life. Participate and find your bluebird.
