Love and support to thrive

As I reached the beach this morning, the calm, soothing blue and white sky immediately settled my nervous system. The gentle hues were like a breath for the soul. At the water’s edge, the chatty flock was already gathered—ready for bath time and morning chatter.

Low tide gifted us another outstanding reflective start to the day. The wet sand mirrored the sky’s soft beauty as magnificent clouds floated above. A lone surfer found quiet solace in the waves, the ocean all to himself.

Closer to shore, a pair of laughing gulls captured my heart. They preened side by side, tender and connected. One of them gently regurgitated food for the other—a gesture known as allofeeding, a form of cooperation and care that strengthens bonds. After breakfast, they danced and sang to one another in a loving display of affection.

They said, “We’re here to encourage supporting your flock mates. Cooperation is how we thrive, not just survive. See how far a little love and sharing can take you today.”

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
