Monday @ the Zoo
My trip to the zoo stimulated my senses.
I saw tons of strollers; and I thanked God my girls are no longer that age.
I saw toddlers throwing tantrums and binkies. A mother’s life to which I can relate.
I heard birds of all kinds: flamingos and swans, geese and crows.
I heard moms describing the scene in front of them: and, the sound of the tram.
I smelled the food, pizza and pretzels, in the food court.
I felt the warm gorgeous sun touching my skin. The weather was perfect, breezy but warm.
I felt the tension of my muscles, as I walked up hills to see giraffes and sea lions.
I tasted happiness, for I noticed buds on the trees and tulip blooms along the walking trail.
Nuns sat and enjoyed lunch. A kind man pushed a lady through the park. A perfectly designed precious boy walked with this ornery smile, and his security blanket.
It was over all such a great day! I really enjoyed it.

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
Sounds amazing! I too am ALWAYS grateful that strollers are in the past for me.
