I have been working from home for the past week and one of the things I have had the time to notice and appreciate is the “conversation” that birds seem to have every morning. They all take up their spots on a roof of each block in our complex and then the conversation starts. The other day it sounded like someone said something wrong so there was a lot of angry chirping in response🤣. I had such a good laugh

I hope you are all taking this time to appreciate the little everyday things that you don’t normally have a chance to notice during this period of self-isolation or lockdown (depending on where you are in the world)

Daily Quote: Brené Brown

“We chase extraordinary moments instead of being grateful for ordinary moments until hard shit happens. And then in the face of really hard stuff — illness, death, loss — the only thing we’re begging for is a normal moment.”

Today is a new day. It is the first day of the rest of my life. I have being praying very hard for the strength to let somethings in my life go. Yesterday I had a friend pop up unexpectedly and instantly I knew she was there for a reason. She wasn’t there to see me as such but she insisted we have coffee anyway which we did.

After talking to her I felt peace. She just listened and gave me the reassurances that I needed to hear and that was that. I walked away from that conversation knowing that that was the last time I would let those issues bother me. I felt free. Thank you my friend for just listening. You are literally a Godsend.

Last night I slept extremely early. I was mentally and emotionally exhausted. This morning I was up at the crack of dawn. In time to hear that beautiful dawn song that the birds sing. I just lay in my bed and listened with a sense of peace in my heart. Thank you God for answering my prayers. Thank you for giving me peace. I walk forward in faith. Today is a new day. 🙌
