Gratitude 189

I have been watching and waiting for what seems like forever.

Patience is difficult for me, always has been – just putting that out there. I am most impatient with my impatience.

For me to wait, let go, surrender, stop worrying, is difficult at best. More like nails on a chalkboard.

I am a fixer. Most happy when I an researching a solution to problems or putting out fires, even though I am still sometimes working on tact.

But back to my subject…birdwatching, like many things, cannot be rushed or fixed. It’s not a fire to be put out or even a problem.

I did satisfy my love for research by talking to the birdseed store owner and downloading the Audubon app, but that’s the extent of my comfort zone.

I have been watching and waiting for what seems like forever to see a hummingbird on the feeder… and have it sit long enough to snap at least one halfway decent blurry picture.

It happened today with not just one, but two halfway decent blurry pics!

I was so excited that I might have let out a slight involuntary gasp followed by a little scream of excitement!

Pictures aside, the hummingbird was a beautiful sight!

As far as patience, still a work in progress.
