A rainy and miserable day.

Everything is gloomy and gray.

Raindrops fall on the rooftops, so lightly

reminding me of tears from heaven. Sometimes

it’s more of a steady pattern like a heartbeat or drumbeat.

Then when it gets really bad, it sounds like horse hooves

stomping the ground in anticipation of the thunderstorms coming.

My frequent visitor is the female grosbeak.

She’s adorable with beautiful light and brown

markings. The grosbeak has the biggest black

eyes that melt my heart. She usually eats in sync

with her male friend. A nuthatch, a woodpecker,

and a cardinal are all new birds today —possibly

because of the rain? Otherwise, I’ve seen goldfinches,

robins, red finches, and crows. I’m looking

every day for new birds to discover.

With my grosbeak on the side ,suddenly a bright

blue sapphire comes out of the sky. You can imagine

my surprise. It was a beautiful blue Indigo Bunting. It

was as if God had dropped this little blue bird of happiness

out of heaven just for me—to remind me that no matter

how dark it gets, light will always come. Also, to live in the

present moment because you never know what beautiful

amazing things are coming for you. So be on the lookout for

your own bluebird of happiness.
