once again,

i need to say that i never knew there would be space in my heart for a pet.

but lately he's been doing these morning wing stretches that make me feel like he's into yoga.

you know when you dont KNOW?

when you're not sure of the outcome so therefore you dont do anything?

i do that all the time.

and then i realize, oh. my only job is to move to the music, not to predict what will happen in the end.

life motto right now:

just BE yo' dancer self!

I'm gonna remember that one. :) I like to call it "my YES moments." Just learning to say yes instead of automatically saying no.

so my eyes go back and forth

between that little bug and that little weird metal thing hanging between trees in the middle of the forest.

And now that you mention it, so do mine. Funny how our eyes catch stuff like that, and then obsess on it!

what mornings are like:

i wake up,

debate over whether to make breakfast first or sit in silence or have a shower.

while i am doing one of these things, cosmo hears that i'm up, and jumps down to the bottom of his cage and starts a) singing really really loudly, and b) pacing as fast as he can back and forth until i let him out. all he wants to do is join the party and to do his morning lap around the living room! he's getting more free by the day.

I've been wondering how Cosmo, my grandbird, has been doing. Thanks for catching us upon him!

I'm not a bird person, but reading about Cosmo (and seeing the pics, of course) always cheers me up. What a cutie!
