I had never before seen a Bald Eagle, our national symbol, in the wild. I wish I had been fast enough to get a picture of it.
Yet--during our vacation to Florida driving from the Merritt's Island National Wildlife Preserve I saw one perched proudly upon a tall pole.
It was big! And I was surprised at seeing the bird--even though I knew they lived in the area.
I almost didn't believe it and for some reason I was really excited.
It is really amazing what we can begin to see when we actually open our eyes and notice the world around us. I am one of the worst at blindly walking though life--and I know I miss a lot going on around me. Call it self-absorbed or something, but essentially I just block out the part of the world I am not, at that moment interested in.
I need to be more aware of what is going on around me.
Not to zone out. Maybe life will become more interesting.
