Mood: happy
I was walking around my yard this afternoon,feeling rather dejected. For no matter how old we get having our father mad at us can still stir feelings of dispair.
Honestly, I wonder at times, what I have to do to get over the feeling that I am not a child and I don't have to feel as if I am being judged for making sensible decisions.
You see I had been discussing with him that I was researching the ins and outs of selling a house and what it involved and he had to tell me all about the reality of it from his standpoint. That would be like asking Archie Bunker his opinion.
And he concluded the discussion by saying he would probably be dead by then anyway. Oh happy day, another beautiful sunny day destroyed by pouring acid on my open wounds. So, anyway, I took my dogs outside so I could pick up crap (fun, fun) and what do I see out of the corner of my eye....
a fat-bug-like thing darting around among the old-fashioned orange tiger lilies. I had to take a closer look, because even a new bug is worth a peek but I was overjoyed...it was a hummingbird!! I had never seen a hummingbird here in my entire life. I had only seen one once in California at my brother's house but never here. Of course it disapeared as quickly as it arrived but that was all it took. I know...I'm such a sap....I don't care.
It's so cool. Now I'm glad I'm happy again. Thank you hummingbird.
