I have big things to worry about, but little things help along the way. What helped today, was seeing a Blue Tit finally visit the bird feeder that I stuck to my spare room window several months ago. Part of me gave up on it, but the other part realised that it was no real effort, so I stuck with it. I saw the little fella about seven times and he’s getting used to me being there. I even changed the feed I’d left in there because it had been there for a couple of weeks. Success!

I’m pretending to be spiritual for a little while, just in case I can find some significance in what I see. This is a connection with nature, just in a way that the Blood Wolf Moon was. There could be something inside us that triggers and we have to make the most of it when these things occur. But for a reality check, I’m not going to start following astrology charts, or using crystals to purify water. I don’t even believe in psychic energy involved in spoon bending any more!

The bird visiting my feeder was just a little moment of joy, and I like knowing that they can have a snack when I’m not around to see them. I have a suspicion that a squirrel has had a little feed, but I don’t have the evidence. All of this makes me happy. Everyone should support their local wildlife, otherwise life can become a more than a little boring.

Out of the window I saw a Jay this morning too! I’ve become accustomed to seeing Red Kites soaring above my car park, but a Jay is a bit more special. I know it’s just a pimped up crow, but I never saw one where I was brought up, and I’ve never seen one where I live now. And that has to be the end of the bird happiness, I have things to concentrate on.

If I’m going to take anything from this it will be to keep your senses open so you can use them and navigate the world. And some posts can be shorter than 400 words if I’ve got to the point!
