Male Goldfinch, Mars, PA
A Little Birdie told me….
Stop waiting
for tomorrow,
or the weekend
or a rainy day,
or a sunny day.
Joy is found
when you stop waiting,
and start realizing
the joy in the moments
of every day life.
Cherish the moments
of a gentle breeze,
a warm smile,
a soft embrace,
a kind word.
A little birdie told me
life is short,
grief and hatred and sorrow exist,
but love conquers all,
joy exists,
happy moments must be grasped.
Cherish the moments.
A little birdie told me.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
my favorite bird!
love the yellow gold finches and you took a great shot; and what a happy, “Chirpy” LOL message to go right along with it! and yes, we want to make sure we grab onto those Happy Moments!!!

LOL! It does! But, I was happy to see it this morning! We don’t really get many “pretty” birds here. Guess that is one reason I enjoy the hummingbirds so much. They are pretty and so much fun to watch.
