Focus on strengths rather what we don’t have

It was a seagull sunrise!  It looks like the seagull shave returned to sunny Florida for the winter. The breeze had a nice chill to it giving us a refreshing start to the day.  The breeze was blowing the tops of the waves sending salty spray high in the sky. 

I wasn’t able to sleep with the devastation all around so I asked the seagulls for advice.  One Legger was extra sweet and engaging hanging out in place with a twinkle in her eye.  She said, “To survive, us seagulls have learned to stay focused on what I have that gives me strength. You see, I put my energy into my powerful leg and wings that hold me up.”  

I met a new seagull about a month ago in the evening.  He was walking the beach with his wings out. He has since joined the flock.  He is able to fly and walk even though he carries his wings out to the side.  

The sunrise crew naked him Floppy got his floppy wings.  Today I asked him his secret.  He said, “Being a part of the flock is important for our survival but that doesn’t mean I can’t be unique.  Sure I look different with my wings out but this is what works for me.  Adapting is necessary to thrive.”

Wishing you a lovely day friends!
