I looked up as I walked past the window this morning to discover a Flicker perched on top of the metal sculpture my husband built to hold our bird feeders.
Chickadees and sparrows filled every available opening. Half a dozen doves lined the fence and several more watched from the branches of a nearby tree.
I felt so much joy. It had been months since I filled the feeders with seeds. My focus on other budgetary priorities kept the seeds at the bottom of the list and off the list for longer than I could remember.
As I thought about the birds I was reminded that feeding the birds was a little like writing this blog.
It has been in the back of my mind for a long time. I just kept putting it off.
Allowing other things to get in the way of writing robbed me of the joy of sharing my journey.
I am smiling as I write and there is a definite increase in my energy level.
I think I will focus more on my writing this year.
What is your new focus for 2015?
