“Fly Upward”
We had a wildlife rescue in our yard recently. I was looking out the window and noticed our neighbor’s cat stalking and jumping away from something in our garden. I went out to look but didn’t see anything at first. My husband called me back out when he found it. It was a young robin that had one wing slightly hurt and couldn’t fly. I called animal control and they came to pick it up. They took it to the local wildlife rehabilitation.
I called a couple of days later for an update on the robin. It turned out that they were able to help it and eventually it moved to a fostering home to heal and be released when well. She mentioned the young ones have a pretty good chance of recovery and release. It was one of a few robins that had been brought in to the wildlife rehab.
Good to know there are those out there to lend a helping hand. We felt good about our deed.
In these times it’s a good point to remember that there is help and hope.
Life is meant to be lived to the fullest.
Bring out your talents and share it with the others.
A small act can make so much of a difference.
So stretch your wings, strengthen them to the wind and Fly.
