Stuff Happens In Life As Do Moments
Posted by terrepruitt on June 5, 2012
I had to rearrange my Nia Classes this week and next week because stuff happens in life. You know that right? You have a plan, just cruising a long and something happens. Sometimes it is just a little quirk that maybe changes your schedule a bit. Sometimes it might be something bigger that changes a lot of things. Either way, there is stuff. We all have stuff. Even if it doesn’t happen directly to us, it happens to someone who affects us. Stuff. Good stuff, bad stuff, stuff that can’t be qualified as either . . . but stuff. Sometimes you gotta drop what you are doing and deal with it. Sometimes you get a little prep time. Whether you can actually get prepared in that time is another story, huh? There are also moments when you might be able to forget the stuff and enjoy the moment that is. Recently I was able to enjoy a moment. I took a few pictures of it. Since there is “stuff” I am using my moment to fill in.
I love when animals drink out of the bird bath. My husband and I try to keep it clean and full. I am really particular during the hot days. Even though I am sure the water gets really hot, I still want to make sure there is water in there for them. I like to see them drink out of it. The blue jay are funny because they put their heads back and move their heads as if that is how they have to get the water down. Is that how they have to do it? Do you know?
What I love more than animals drinking from the bird bath is birds taking a bath. They seem as if they really allow themselves to really enjoy it. They seem to love to get to splish and splash around. I love that. I really love when I have my camera or phone close by so I can take some pictures. I posted a long time ago (in 2009) about the baby blue jays taking a bath. They were so funny to watch because each one was so different in how they took their baths. One would barely get wet, while another would just go crazy in the water. You can see from the pictures how he would just splash around really big. He became a big blur. It was fun to see the different personalities of the birds.
The other day, I just happen to look up as a bird hopped in the water. He would jump in splash around, then jump out, then jump in splash around, then stop, then splash, then stop. Just having a good old time. He was not a big blurry splasher like that one baby blue jay was. Whenever I think of that blue jay it makes me laugh because he would just get so crazy. It does make me happy to see the birds actually taking a bath in the bird bath. Although I am fine if they just drink out of it. It is a nice break, either way, especially where there is “stuff”.
All this splishing and splashing reminds me of the Duck Walk. 🙂 Thanks for letting me take a little break and share a bird’s bath with you. It was a nice moment.
How are you doing? Have you had any moments lately? Got any stuff?
Look at all the water . . . . . now this is FUN STUFF!

I loved this Terre. Oh I absolutely have “stuff” that happens weekly and sometimes daily. No matter how I plan – there it is in my face – stuff I hadn’t counted on or planned for. Then it’s always on to plan B or C or even D. Moments? Yep – the full moon the other night or actually morning. I’m up very early and was out on the porch with coffee when there it was behind some thin clouds. Full, bright, sinking lower and as if looking at it through gauze. I loved it. A terrific moment among the stuff.

Great that you can still take time to enjoy those moments! I think it is really the moments that life is about and not the stuff!
Thank you so much for taking a moment to read and comment!
