Backyard Whispers

Who doesn't love the whisper of the hummingbird? I often hear them before I see them. Did you know they are the only birds that can fly backward and upside down? Their wings beat so fast that they can hover in mid-air and fly in any direction.

My life has been so busy lately that I have felt like a hummingbird - darting here and there. I got an email from my Dad recently, who is 85 years old and thinking about the end of this life. He wanted to know if I had any questions I wanted answered before he passed. That's a hard question to think about. But, in the end, what has happened in the past is done, and I try not to worry about the future, so it's the present that I focus on—enjoying and being present at this moment.
