Come to my Window……

This is the view from my office/scraproom window.  I’ve been sitting here getting distracted by these little guys.  When the window beside my desk is open, I can actually hear their little wings going bzz…bzz….it’s AWESOME!  It reminds me of the sound of a weedeater thingie.  Sounds weird, but it’s the only thing I can think of in comparison at the moment  :)

These hummers make me think of how looks can be deceiving.  They’re so small and pretty, but they’re MEAN!  One will be trying to get a drink at the feeder, and another one will come down and just totally dive bomb him and knock him down.  Seriously, someone is going to get a broken wing  :)   But the little guy is persistent.  He gets knocked down, but he flies back up and tries again.

Sometimes I just feel that way about life in general.  You get knocked down?  Just get back up and try again!  Nothing to do with scrapbooking I guess, but sometimes I need a reminder to keep trying.  Maybe I’ll just make a page with this photo to remind myself of that. 

Do you have something that you keep in sight everyday to remind yourself to keep going when you don’t feel like it?  I’d love to hear it.

    One thing that helps me is music. I am SOO into music and finding the lyrics that suite my mood or my feelings. I have several playlists I have made with Itunes for these types of moods. Helps me a lot.

    The other thing is a pic of my daughter. Or looking at a page I have done about my daughter. That alone can turn my grey day into a much happier one.
