sometimes life is really scary...

and

you know that you should be stronger

and

standing on your own two feet without toppling over

but

it's hard

and

you get all turned around

heading in a direction you think is right

only to get turned around

again

but

you're determined

and

brave

and

beautiful

and

you know the wings you've been blessed with

will take you where you dream to be

and

then suddenly just like that

everything feels right

and

your head is lifted high

and

finally

you're exactly where you were meant to be in the first place

meet my baby flicker or red bellied woodpecker

{thanks hillary for the information}

who lives outside our cottage

who couldn't figure out what to do at the feeder

and

whose parents have pecked huge holes into our cedar siding

isn't she adorable

oh

and

for those who asked
