Up and Down Days

The Great Blue Heron is back - and a couple days ago the belted kingfisher visited. And, I am back. Back to my usual self. Yesterday for some strange reason I was down. It doesn't happen often, but when it does I'm always surprised and analyzing and trying to figure out why. This morning I came to the conclusion that if we didn't have down days, how could we recognize up days? The plan is to have more up ones than down ones - and I certainly do! I think it's just a gentle reminder of how very fortunate I am to have so many up days! Contrast is what it's about. Pain and pleasure, good and bad, highs and lows. So much of the time I don't even think about such - it's good to be reminded and recognize how blessed I am to be up so much of my life! ----- Jim came yesterday to spend a few days and that's reason enough to be UP!
