Taking A Bath

I found this robin while she was right in the middle of her bath. I never interrupted her because I thought I'd just hang back and be polite. Animals like it that way much better than if I went charging up screaming, "Hey, can I take your picture?"

This robin seemed to really be enjoying herself in the water, so I just stood there and observed. I could see how happy she was, and a little of that happiness rubbed off on me. That is the kind of thing I like about nature.

This one little bird didn't have a care in the world, and as a good side effect, neither did I now. What a wonderful result of just taking a walk outside. Just thinking back on this little incident gives me a great feeling inside.

As you can see, I haven't posted anything in a few days. All I can say is that I simply forgot. I've been doing that a lot lately. One of you asked me if my forgetfulness was because of age or my accident. I don't remember who. I only remember that you are one of my favorite bloggers. It'll come to me one of these times.

Anyway, it is definitely because of the accident. I'm not really very old yet. My memory isn't totally lost. It's just that things, sometimes very important things, seem to routinely slide right out of my mind now. It's actually not always a bad thing. It gives me plenty of rest sometimes.

Don't take any of that wrongly. I don't feel too bad. It's just a bit of a status report and an answer to a question from an important person, and I just barely happened to remember it. Losing a bit of memory isn't too bad because you don't really remember what you've missed. And people can come up with good jokes to share with you. I just can't remember any right now. :D

Splashy splashy, little birdie!
