Forgot number six

Birds delight me. Their songs fill me with joy and make me feel like I am floating. Something so simple makes everything o.k. and bearable. When I am recovering from my fourth surgery and waiting for number five, I want to learn more about bird. Being with nature, for me, means being surrounded by life. I recently wrote a paper on the restorative properties of nature - that is how I feel when I hear birds singing - alive and full of life. It is memorizing.

I know that I will spend a lot of time indoors between the two surgeries, and by the time I  fully recover from number five it will be well in to January/February and too cold to venture out much. I still want to see the birds though! I want to be filled with life. I plan to buy the new Lego kit that makes models of different birds: the humming bird, blue jay, and robin. I fell in love with the set as soon as I saw it at the end of last year. I will save it until after the fourth surgery as a treat to make when I recover a bit.

Therefore, the sixth big thing I have on my list is to learn about birds (and make them out Lego!).
