Expect the unexpected

Weeeeeeeee! The wind was whipping this morning, burning a chill into the air and giving the flock the full-on zoomies. The gulls darted back and forth several times, then used the gusts to hang in place and connect, like little acrobats suspended in the sky.

The stronger gusts blew sand down the beach like a blanket of sparkling crystals. When the sun finally rose, it brought a wash of warmth and a golden glow that filled the sky.

A cormorant missing a few feathers flew past in that golden glow and said,“Losing feathers is part of the process of growing. Not to worry—new ones always come in, giving you strength for your next chapter.”

After sunrise, in the calm of the lagoon, a solo osprey swooped in and attempted to snag breakfast. Out of the blue, a pelican friend flew in to say a quick hello and added, “Expect the unexpected. Be open to shifts, surprises, and those beautiful connections that appear out of nowhere.”

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
