Below is a true story that was written by a friend of mine that I worked with and shows how sometimes even the mundane can “really” be enjoyable if we only look for it in each and every moment that life brings our way.
We need only make the best of things: what we have it and when we have it, because come tomorrow…, we may never know if we will get that 2nd opportunity to appreciate all that is around us and what it has to offer. Go forth people and enjoy the “Now” of life!
Even Crows Have Fun
The first would go down the ‘slide’, walk back up and wait its turn. This went on for about five minutes, until one looked down with a sideways glare. They’d seen me watching. With one caw they were gone.
I woke up early one morning to a scratching sound. The sound went away so I drifted back to sleep.
A few minutes later I woke to the same sound. This time it persisted. I decided I should get up and find out where it was coming from.
My house isn’t very big. Just a modular home on a nicely treed lot in Kitimat, British Columbia. I had seen many animals walk, trot, climb, gallop or waddle across the yard, but I’d never seen what I witnessed that bright spring morning in 2003.
In the kitchen, I heard the noise above me. I looked up to the ceiling, to see a crow step on the upper edge of the high-impact plastic skylight. It did a little sidestepping and then slid down the plastic skylight. To my amazement, there were two other crows doing the same thing.Author: Daniel Carter
