My swans

What is it about swans? They are just so beautiful, so serene. It's the wonderful way they hold their heads, necks straight and tall. It's the amazingly white feathers...even when the water around them is brown with mud swept downstream!

I just love my walk to work, along by the river. It doesn't matter what the weather is like. It doesn't matter what kind of mood I'm in. My spirits are just lifted as soon as I see my swans.

I love it when I see one of them flying. I always feel like it's a sign of something good. And the best thing is that when I see one flying, I usually see two or three of them flying! I'm always too busy watching them to ever take out my phone to take a picture though!

I know that people say swans look serene above the waterline, but below it they are paddling for all they are worth, but I don't know. They certainly seem to me to be very calm and relaxed. Just taking life as it comes. Showing us how it's done!

Today I am grateful that I get to see these wonderful, beautiful creatures on a regular basis.

They help me to stop for a moment and take a deep breath and be thankful.

Gratefully yours.
