The joy of pets: Little balls of pleasure
There are two fluffy balls of pleasure close to my heart these days. The feathery bundles of joy are two budgies. What great little pets they can be, always pleased to see you and never judgemental (although I swear they have attitude if I’ve been away too long).
Not only are they cute, these fragile critters can be surprising role models. They know how to weather a storm. No matter what happens birds just seem get on with it; they simply chill out and it’s contagious.
If I feel down I only need look at them for a wake up call. When I feel bitter and twisted they sweeten the air with cheerful chatter.
If I forget to see the big picture they somehow remind me to keep-it-simple-stupid! When I’m hung up on trivial things they remind me that life is just too short. And they should know. When I feel alone they show me a friend is never far away. Who’d have thought two little birds could make such a big difference?
