Bummed Out


It doesn’t take a big event, with hoopla, and ceremony to provide me enjoyment.
I woke up just a little ‘bummed out’, because after 2 weeks vacation, I must return to the road, working 55 or more hours a week. Driving 2,000 miles a week to provide for my family, illegal aliens, drug addicts, criminals and politicians. What would really be enjoyable, would be receiving all of the results of my labor, to use for my family, and my families spiritual and physical needs.
If only the others that were mentioned, had to provide for themselves.
So, yes, I woke up ‘bummed out’.
Guess what?
It took about 10 minutes to lose all of that worry and ‘bummed out feeling’.

It all disappeared when I went outside and listened.
Usually in the mornings, I can hear the roar of the interstate even though it is over half a mile away. People just like me, going to work, maybe with a bummed out attitude. Everyone here gets used to it since it isn’t going away.
But his morning the road noise was missing.
No the legal Americans didn’t all take a day off to protest. It was something much different.
All of my friends the redbirds, seemed to have fallen in love on the same day, and are talking about it. Rather, singing about it. Their songs filled the air, and the roar of traffic was gone.
The love songs they sing are more enjoyable than half of the human music on my radio, no, that’s not true, it is more like 90%. The beautiful redbirds can sing their love songs, over and over and over, and they don’t seem to get tired of the song. I don’t either.
They love to hang out at webloafer’s place, since I feed them in the winter, and provide natural shelter for them from the neighborhood cats.
Isn’t life wonderful. I think they know I enjoy their music, and so they sang louder.
