Birds of a feather . . .

Have you noticed that it really is true- birds of a feather do flock together? I have never seen two geese, three ducks, a couple of woodpeckers, and a cardinal flying in formation. No, it is always a flock of geese that makes up the V-formation. Pigeons line up on top of a building and sparrows dot a power line.  

We all really are the same way in our own lives. The title of the blog came to mind as I read the blogs written by two of my friends. I am proud of the authors, both blogs are well done. I smile thinking about the ladies who wrote them; they both have been in my life for many years.  

One I have known since she was a baby and I was her nanny.  Just call me Bobbie Poppins- Bobbie being her nickname for me.  She now writes entertainingly about the adventures of her young family. The second I met when she was just out of high school and newly engaged. In fact, I caught the bouquet at her wedding! Her blog is more serious as she talks about her past struggle with an eating disorder and keeping balance in her life.  

Though the three of us have a myriad of differences, the things we have in common outweigh those differences. Especially writing- we all enjoy writing. In fact, I was recently having lunch with the second woman when she made the comment that she had not been able to write for a while and it felt like a part of her was missing. I have said that very same thing so I completely understood how much writing is a part of her.  

Thinking about others that I consider  friends, both men and women, they are all creative people in one way or another. Like my other two friends, they are also caring people of faith that have similar values. While each of us are unique and have different purposes in life, we are still birds of a feather.  

There are people I have met and I have known instantly they were the same kind of bird so to speak. You may have had that same experience where something just clicks, or it seems like you have known the person forever at the first meeting. I love when that happens.  

And I love my birds that flock together.
