John & I sat on the porch-deck at The Dolphin View Restaurant which overlooks an inlet at New Smyrna Beach, FL. I'm not sure the name of the inlet we overlooked.
John ate a hamburger, green beans, waffle fries, and a hush puppy.
I ate a flounder Reuben with sauerkraut, slaw, waffle fries, and a hush puppy.
As I sat eating, I watched two pelicans that stood atop a couple pylons.
The pelicans weren't busy; they simply stood, resting.
I noticed their large beaks.
I noticed their resting.
I often notice how frequently animals rest.
John and I saw no dolphins today.
We saw dolphins Monday while we walked the pier that connects with the long rock jetty at Ponce Inlet.
I wondered if the dolphins knew we were watching them?
Watching them caused us to smile.
Animals.
They gather food.
They play.
They rest.
I wonder if animals worry?
I am an animal.

(I think they worry about predators - but not about such abstract things, like 'Am I a worthwhile squirrel' or 'Does this shirt make me look fat?').
I am an animal.
(Yup, me too).
Hey Jon...
Somehow I missed your comment months ago. Your comment gives me a chuckle....thinking about a squirrel worrying if she's worthwhile. Critters don't worry about such. One lesson (among 1000s) that we can learn from them.
