Each decision we make, good or bad, offers an opportunity to learn.

This morning as I stepped out of my car and loudly shut the car door, I startled two Great Blue Herons feeding along the banks of Dixon Reservoir. As they flew away I realized I was rushing into this scene, looking for the image rather than being there. So, I took a deep breath, relaxed and watched the sunrise unfold, which brought a smile to my face. That was a much better decision than when I arrived. Lesson learned. Weather forecast is predicting 72 degrees today. Enjoy your Saturday! The decision to write this post was inspired by my friend Deb.

When we interact with nature we don’t always know what to expect when we get out of the car, as you found. Sometimes closing a car door is enough to send something fleeing. The herons may have flown off just by your motion, without the sound. They can be a bit skittish!
Glad to see you are getting some nice weather there.

It’s been a lovely day here. 72 degrees so I forced myself to buy a DQ Blizzard. LOL

Ah, the sacrifices we must make. I can’t tell you the last time I had a Blizzard. May need to remedy that soon. 🙂

It may be time, my friend!

The trick for me is to actually make a decision so that the resulting learning can take place! Blessings.

So, sloth and procrastination are a part of life. Seems we all have it to some level. There is usually a good feeling once I make a decision and go with it. Enjoy your Sunday!
