Life can be a Pain

Hi @outlander @Shaz51 @utopia @Bast @BlueBay @Zoe7

I went outside late last night and there was some kind of unusual creature on the power line leading into my home

Shining a torch onto it proved it to be an owl - and it sat there for as long as I looked - and it looked at me - I took some photos but they are not good and I can't transfer them - still trying

But this was so special - I still love owls and this is the first sign I have seen of one around this district all the time I have been living here

Still trying to transfer the photo

@Owlunar I’ve never seen an owl irl. That really is special.

I’ve never seen one in real life @Owlunar it would have been amazing.

I saw owls in the wild when I was a small child - it's a very special memory

And the one I saw last night feels wonderful - I hope it comes back - it was really quiet and just sat on the wire when I talked to it and walked in and out and took photos with the flash - it was beautiful - I am not sure what kind it was

Thanks @Maggie

Yes @BlueBay

Really amazing

Such a special moment for you last night with the owl @Owlunar - it is those moments that not only bring a smile to our face but allow us to just be in the moment with the pleasure of the experience

Hi @Zoe7

It's been great to see you back in the forum again - I hope you are feeling as well as you can be

That owl last night was a special moment - I think it would be for anyone but for me owls are special - like messengers from Heaven I think

I take seeing it as a good omen - or answered prayer

I'm still smiling and it's so great to have such a special moment to share

awww how wonderful my second mum @Owlunar to see the owls

Been slowly 'dipping my toes' into a few more threads lately @Owlunar but still can't deal with some things so have to restrict my support to just a few still. I know you get how that is but needing to look after myself first.

That owl is indeed a special moment and one you can take forward with you. It really is the most unexpected moments like that that bring us joy. I have those moments every day when I come home and see Toby so excited to see me - never fails to bring a smile to my face even in the darker times. So grateful for my fur babies

Hi @Zoe7

I do know about caring for oneself first - it's a vital part of our self-esteem - we are learning to value ourselves and our commitment

And we do better for other people when we do -

I hope your classes are working out for you - I know this school has been a better situation for you - it would be great if this continues - I certainly wish you the best

Maybe the good feelings about my owl can brush off onto others - let's hope so

I have been outside to see if it's back tonight - if she's back tonight - I hope she comes back - I will have to think up a name for her if she does

I guess I miss my cat - I'm so glad you have your fur babies - I would love to have a friendly owl
