Moments D308: Fly

Sometimes it is challenging to accept change. Sometimes it is even harder to instigate change.  And sometimes, yes sometimes we have no choice.  The waves of change push us beyond our comfortable cocoon.

Today was one of those days for me.  It was light of understanding that washed over me after a conversation with a colleague of mine.  (This a man I respect greatly!)  He told me to fly.  His simple, yet (always) elegant words inspired me to believe.

His words “Think just how much more beautiful a butterfly is to look at than a cocoon.”

Today:  a day where I realized the cocoon isn’t necessarily the best place to be.

Moments where you believe you can fly.

Moments D179: Birds Above

Today was a great day and I spent a few hours in one of my favourite places in Niagara Falls -The Butterfly Conservatory. It was amazing to sit and just enjoy them fluttering about us. Beautiful. So much that I’ll share a picture.






But, that wasn’t the biggest moment I had today. That came when I was driving home. I had my sunroof open as it was warmer and sunny and these types of days will be fewer and farther between as the fall days roll into winter. I was enjoying the cool breeze.

As I stopped for a red light I noticed that there were birds directly above my head on a wire singing their beautiful song. That was the smile of the day. Birds chirping and twittering above my head on a busy 4 lane street. So cool.

Moments with nature.

Moments to smile.
