There's a lot to learn from them. I don't anything is prettier than the sight of geese flying over against the backdrop of a blue sky.<br /><br />Hugs, dear friend!Linda Brodayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357448132994020848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-2743978540759534162015-05-05T15:23:01.449-05:002015-05-05T15:23:01.449-05:00Thanks, Cheryl.

LOL (I never know if LOL means laugh out loud or lots of love ... in this case it means both!) I've saved this for a lot of years as a reminder but it sure fits about everything in life.

LOL But it's all very true and good advice we can all remember and use in daily life. Glad you posted this--it really makes me think.

I love this story and thought it is fitting to the jobs we have as writers, as well as other responsibilities in our lives. As Gail pointed out, there's a lot we can learn from God's creatures.

I know this is strange, but since I tore my ACL, my cat stays beside me almost all day long and now has to sleep with me, touching me.

You really added some excellent points, particularly about authors working in isolation ... whether we are actually at a computer typing, writing on paper, or the story is running through our heads, we are isolated. Yet, we all have friends and fellow authors to depend on to lift us up when we get tired and encourage us. I'm fortunate to have a wonderful support system.

As a result, we have hundreds, at times thousands, of ducks, Canadian honkers, as well as several eagles (golden and bald), an osprey or two, hawks, songbirds, killdeer, Sandhill cranes, herons, etc --- and many of them nest in the spring and are here most of fall and winter.

I liked the encouraging honks. Since we work most of the time in isolation, it's so wonderful to get that positive and sincere feedback from others.<br />I didn't know two geese would stay with a wounded comrade...and so many people think animals don't have feelings.
