Hummingbird sighting!

This is the 3rd time this year and the 3rd time in my life.  I tell Matt and others I have never seen one before (theyre incredible rare right?) but I am afraid I have never slowed down enough to notice.  They move more like insects through the air than any bird.  I think any animal so elusive becomes just as amazing.  Perhaps like a unicorn. 

For the first time in my life, I feel like I can slow down and its okay.  I think when all you have is nights and weekends (and perhaps 10 vacation days) not indebted to someone else, you feel the need to GO!  Whether in line at the grocery store or waiting at a red light or even when youre on vacation.  I admit, its a great feeling- a feeling of contentment.  I am not saying it is my mission in life to do absolutely nothing and therefore have an abundance of truly FREE time on my hands, but why cant more people feel this way.  Perhaps we would all be better off if we didnt feel rushed?

Anyway, I am enjoying seeing the hummingbirds.
