This morning as I went\u00a0to get my newspaper, I found a small sparrow. He was lying on the side of the driveway. Obviously it was not well. I picked it up and took it to my garage. I made a place for it to rest on top of my washer and dryer. I tried to get water to it, but I could not get it to drink. As I held it&#8217;s tiny body, I figured it would not live long. It was breathing heavily, and it closed it&#8217;s eyes.<\/p>\n<p>I left it. I wished it would rest and recover. When I returned to check on it maybe an hour later, it had passed. I cried. For the next hour, I felt very sad, and cried a little more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>I care deeply.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Why am I telling you this? Because I want you to understand that I am very caring. A little bird I only &#8220;knew&#8221; for a couple of hours touched my heart. It does not take long for me to care deeply. If I care about a small sparrow, I care about you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>My wish today.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">My wish today is I wish that on some conscious level that little bird knew I cared and that I loved it. What greater way to express love than to want to comfort another living thing when it is dying?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Caring or strange.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Any way, I just wanted to share that with you. You either think I am very caring or very strange for feeling sad for a wild bird.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>What can I do for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">If there is any way that you think I can help you, let me know.\u00a0 Leave a message: www.facebook.com\/lisaylifecoach<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Smile for me.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Lisa Yerington, life coach<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello~ The Sparrow So, I just wanted to share this with you.
