something amazing (thought it would brighten up the day)
I just wanted to share some positive.
With all the things we see about the economy and everything I just wanted to share this.
Its the little things that we observe that give us hope in our times of struggle.
What do you think?
Here is what happened:
_________
I was out letting the dogs out and Sasha barked in the direction of the building across the street. There was a bird lying on its back (I assumed it was dead) As I was letting them do there thing I just kept watching over there I don't know why. Two birds then swooped down and the little bird started to come to but he was struggling and the two other birds stayed there with him. Within seconds this little bird was really flapping around and making noise. Part of me was thinking Poor little guy won't make it his wings are probably broke, but at the same time I found myself hoping he would just be okay and fly away. Then I saw the strangest things the two other birds flipped him so he could get up. All 3 stood there and I just watched (they dogs were even being quiet) And then that bird flew and so did the other two. They flew up to the top of the building and then they flew away.
It made me think of that song "Hope" and how that bird flew higher than the others in the song. Well this little bird flew higher than the other two

Here are the lyrics to "Hope" by Idina Menzel
This is the story
Of a bird with no wings
But certain that it can fly
Sailing on love
Into the head winds
Forcing it's way by and by
If only we were
As strong as this bird
Our spirit would never die
What do we name it
Hope is the right word
Hope is the bravest most beautiful bird
In the sky
Hope is a bird (hope)
Flies higher than others
And keeps all our dreams alive
Free of all doubt
Perfectly fearless
Fed by its will to survive
Imagine ourselves
Becoming this bird
We can when we dare to try
And see ourselves flying
Over the mountain
Hope is the bravest most beautiful bird
In the sky
Only hope can light the way
Only hope can heal the heart
Only hope can keep the clouds
From hiding the moon and the stars
If only we were
As strong as this bird
Our spirit would never die
What do we name it
Only one word
Hope is the bravest most beautiful bird
Hope is the bravest most beautiful bird
In the sky
Only hope can light the way
(Only hope)
Only hope can heal the heart
(Only hope)
Only hope can keep the clouds
From hiding the moon and the stars
This was a story
Of a bird without wings
And rose above everything
Never was giving up hope
