Embrace your strengths, Learn from your elders

First light showed a blanket of layered clouds on the horizon soaking up the deep purple and pink colors.

A cool salty breeze felt good in my lungs. The chatty flock of gulls flew in when it was still dark.

Peggy, a laughing gull I haven’t seen this year came in close for a hug. She was with One Legger, also a laughing gull. I met her 4 or 5 years ago at sunrise.

She is both sweet and feisty and an amazing athlete. She said, “I’m a reminder to embrace your strengths.”

Pelican Highway traffic was heavy heading southbound. The mature brown pelicans were leading the younger ones down the road.

They said, “The elder and more mature birds lead the younger ones by example. The younger birds work their way up to the front of the pace line with time and practice. You see, there is a lot to learn, so we don’t mind sitting in the back watching and enjoying the ride.”

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
