For the bird people
Just had to share this with you. Last weekend I had some volunteer work to do for the Humane Society. I manned an info booth and sold different items for fundraising. Anyway, this woman came up to me with this huge bird on her shoulder. She said her name was Molly but I can't remember what kind of bird. Molly was white but had bright orange feathers underneath the ones on her head. Well, I took one look and immediate fell in love. Molly came on my shoulder and tucked her head underneath my neck and cuddled while I pet her. She was soooo affectionate and even kissed me on the cheek. She was quite the talker too! The owner had rescued her because she was so stressed out in her original home, she pulled out most of her feathers. But even with all the bald spots, she stole my heart away.
I now understand what you guys have been talking about all this time.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
