There are somethings in this world that we tend to take for granted.
The air. We assume that its always going to be clear and clean and breathable.
Water, we in QLD know that its not always avail. We are used to our 4 min showers, not running the taps and no hosing.
This morning I heard 3 things that made me stop and think about the things we take for granted.

3 birds.
Probably more than 3 birds, but 3 different sounds.
It was just on 4am, and Bill was getting up. First we heard the rooster. Now this rooster probably lives about 1 km away, so he was pushing his morning call.
Moments later the magpies wanted to put their two cents in and try and wake those that might still be sleeping. As a kid I was chased by a magpie or two, so I don't really like them as a bird, but they just have the prettiest call.
I was just lying there thinking how nice it was and just how much you miss when you sleep in early in the morning, when the kookaburra's started.
We have about 3 kookaburra's that sit on the fence and chat. 2 young ones and a wise looking 'old man' kookaburra.
Also 3 days ago, just after the storm we had 3 black cockotoo's in the trees. We have a grumpy old male koala, who grunts and groans alot looking for his lady... lol
And to make it so Australian, there is a kangaroo or two out there as well.

So next time you think you have so much stress in your life, you don't have time to sneeze, have a think about what goes by...
Stop and smile at someone..
Stop and smell a flower..
Listen to the birds..

It all goes by far too quick. Kids grow up too fast and before long we are old and wonder where it all went..

Bee safe..
