New Year’s…traditionally a time to reflect on the past and set intentions for the future.
I thought about that as I watched this little golden-crowned sparrow splashing in a pond. I suspected he wasn’t reflecting on his life or planning his year. He was simply enjoying time in his natural swimming pool.
Perhaps his presence was a reminder that life isn’t about making big plans. It’s about living each moment from the heart. And seizing opportunities for connection and love and joy in the small moments.
I smiled, knowing I had just found my New Year’s resolutions.
Inspired by a beautiful little bird…
