“Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.”
~Nathaniel Hawthorne
*****************
This morning, I woke up early so I could go pick up Bella, (my step-dog) I call her that because she is like my own, but she belongs to my friend and neighbor, Mr. Mike. We have joint custody, (inside joke) as he travels a lot on business and appreciates having someone who really loves her taking good care of her. (Isn’t she cute?)
The sun was just barely up when we walked through the park. I noticed a butterfly following us all along our path. I took out my phone to take a picture, and she was very cooperative.
I’m not sure if the butterflies are sent from heaven to give us a message or we are supposed to tell them our message to send back to heaven. Either way, I always talk to my butterflies and they are very patient and understanding. I told this butterfly, “Good morning, Mom.” She made me smile.
Lucky pennies or feathers or butterflies, it doesn’t matter what you believe. Your perception is your reality. I love my reality filled with pennies and feathers and butterflies from heaven.
