Squirrel Friends

My little squirrel friends are enjoying their new treat toy.

It's actually for the birds, but the squirrels found it first.

Squirrels Enjoying the Last Few Hours of Winter

It was a beautiful spring day, i decided to stay home with SADDI in our small apartment. i had started boiling some chicken for our dinner and a hard boiled egg. Unexpectedly, a so-called friend came over and wanted me to take him to lunch. i foolishly agreed, even though i knew he was using me, but i was lonely. We walked downtown and went out to lunch. Afterwards we walked down to the waterfront to sit on the grass to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. i asked him if he wanted to see a movie but he said he wasn't feeling well so we returned to my apartment.

From across the busy intersection we could hear an alarm going off, i thought nothing of it until we reached the gate and realized it was coming from main unit upstairs. i unlocked the door, opened it and was hit by a massive wall of smoke. In a moment SADDI came running out and went into the corner of the strip of yard we had. i looked inside and all i could see was smoke. Blindly i made my way inside to reach the windows on the otherside of the room. i was able to open them and the smoke began rolling out. i figured out that when i had left, i forgot to turn off the chicken. The pot was ruined as the chicken was black and down to the bone and the egg the size of a softball. i opened the window in the bedroom and made my way outside to check on SADDI as smoke continued rolling out from the open door and window. i sat down on the sidwalk, my friend seated next to me and SADDI slowly making her way over to me. But when she reached to door, she ran over and closely sat against me.

It was a while that the three of us sat their, but then the friend went home. (Not even a thank you for lunch) i got up to go inside, SADDI stayed on the sidewalk. It was clear, but the entire apartment smelled of smoke, clothes, furniture, walls, etc. It started getting dark and i still couldn't get SADDI inside. i finally had to pick her up and walk her through the apartment to assure it okay. When the sun set, it began to get cold and with all the windows open, our apartment became quite chilly.

i called in sick to work the next day because i didn't feel comfortable leaving SADDI alone and it gave me a day to wash all the clothes, blankets, bedding and get SADDI out of the house with a long walk.

Seize the Day

i love to sit on the front porch, in the cool morning air as the sun awakes over the horizon. Darkness slowly turns into a bright light. Listening to the sounds only the early morning can amplify; different kinds of birds singing, a distance wood pecker, squirrels playing in the trees. And as we approach the first day of spring, if you truly allow yourself, you can hear the newly born flowers reaching out of the soil to begin their life and bring a collection of colors for us all to witness. There is a sweet scent that can only be enjoyed in those moments as the new day begins. It's worth waking up early to enjoy.
A new week is once again upon us and we are in total control of how we embrace it. Each new day belongs to us to create it into the experiences we seek to fulfill ourselves. Be open to making your dreams become reality. But also be open to an adjustment to your dreams. Most importantly, dream. And know the strength and courage to make those dreams come true, is always within you. Even if the weight of life seems to be a heavy burden, our dreams always give us a chance to escape and be free.

As we seek to celebrate new beginnings, it is always our duty to ensure those carrying their own burdens are inspired to see the light of hope. To some it may be distant, even fading, as long as we extend our arms to others, everyone will have the chance to believe in the beauty of their dreams. We must be teachers, messengers and guides, so the future is forever filled with dreams and believers.SeizeTheDay
