My Friend, The
Wren
By Mona Lease
Hi, all!! I had wondered what to write this week. I heard Russian
President Vladimir Putin say - on television - that he and US President
Donald Trump will work together. I've heard and read that they will
work together on the Syrian situation. Ok - so - I heard President
Putin say - on television - that it was illegal for the US to sit in
the ocean (or sea) and lob 50+ (or however many) Tomahawk Missiles into
Syria. Putin further stated that he was going to take this incident
before the next UN meeting. Did this really go before the UN? What
changed if it did not go before the UN??
I read and hear that the heroin epidemic is out of control. "What are
we going to do about it?" is on everyone's lips and minds. I thought an
epidemic meant that something was so widespread that it was out of
control. Are these people saying that the out-of-control is out of
control?? And what did people do about drugs that they said were out of
control in the '60s...'70s...and even the '80s?
I have a Caroline Wren who has taken up residence in some brush beside
my garage. He is a little bigger than an English Sparrow and colored
about the same...chocolate brown....some white markings on his face and
cheeks. He does not talk much. He just goes about his business - old
leaves, worms, "dirt-pecking" and the like. He takes it all back to his
home. I would have never noticed him except that I heard a bird call
from the ground...which is most unusual. Birds normally do not talk on
the ground - they're too close to their natural predators - cats, dogs,
foxes, etc. He's been fun to watch - when he's out on his "shopping
trips." I submit the following for you to think on a spell.
We are all just a car crash, a diagnosis, an unexpected phone call, a
new-found love, or a heartbreak away from becoming a completely
different person. How beautifully fragile are we that so many things
can take but a moment to alter who we are forever. - Samuel Decker

There's nothing you can do to help someone who does not want to help
themselves. - Halos and Horns Fun Page
Sometimes two broken hearts find each other and they heal each other,
they protect each other, and they love each other for the rest of their
lives. - That's life, too
Be yourself. People don't have to like you. And you don't have to care.

Until you get comfortable with being alone, you will never know if
you're choosing someone out of love or loneliness. - Halos and Horns

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that
you can learn to let go. Things go wrongly so that you can appreciate
them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to
trust no one but yourself. And sometimes good things fall apart so
better things can fall together. - That's life, too
Trust and Respect. The two easiest things in life for someone to lose
and the hardest things to get back. - That's Life 2
At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen
and live in what is happening. - That's Life 2
"We have to realize that our lives could be gone in a split second.
There are no guarantees that we will be here this time next month, let
alone this time next year. Stop waiting for Friday when it's Monday.
Learn to live each day to the fullest. Don't complain. Don't focus on
what's wrong. Be grateful for the opportunity to experience each and
every day. - 3 am Thoughts
Enjoy the above. Take what you can use. I'm going to go watch my
Carolina Wren. Maybe there's a lesson to be learned with him and his
ways.
Remember the kiddies and our service people. Take good care of the
furry and feathered ones out there. Be safe and healthy. See ya next
time. Ever Toodles!! MONA
