This evening when Mylo and I went on our walk I was surprised by how quiet it was. How lovely it is to live in a part of the city where the sounds of nature are not drowned out by the sounds of crowds and traffic.
The last couple of days I felt like I was once again staring in one of those depression hurts commercials so I'm glad I was able to drag myself away from the sofa to enjoy this lovely evening. Looking at the robin, I was wondering how I could stop this recurring role I have in this depression and then it came to me ~ STOP AUDITIONING!
I wonder about the effectiveness of "fake it until you make it". I've always been an advocate of being genuine ~ what you see is what you get but that seems to be the very thing that has kept me in this funk for so long. If I stop acting and talking like a depressed person, they certainly won't have me in their commercials any longer. Maybe depression will leave me if I stop making it so welcome. I miss the person I used to be. What a waste it is not to enjoy this beautiful life I have.
Does the robin wonder if she should sing or does she just do it because that's what robins do? Does the robin ever feel sluggish and just stay in her nest all day long? Sure the robin has work to do in building and maintaining a nest, looking for food, laying and hatching eggs but when she's not working what is she doing? How unfortunate it would be for her not to explore and enjoy the world around her.
It's been a long winter and I'm delighted that the robins are back ~ so nice to see them, so nice to hear them. Welcome back my friends. I missed you.
