Hi Pamela, this is a good reminder to feel less overwhelmed by all we have to do. Your post resonated with me. And the pictures, as always, are fabulous.
The center image with a thousand black dots of birds nudged a fond memory. Rather than shore birds, my black birds were Redwings that amass starting late July. I called it "pepper birds." They'd flock to the trees, then circle the north end of the lake, swoop down to the road, then up to rest on the telephone wire - up and down like a giant cloud of cracked pepper.
Your analogy of a flock of birds is perfect. Pictures are outstanding! I’ve been in the weeds since I started volunteering two days a week. I love doing it, so I’m just going to manage my time at home better.
Good one for me to read today as I am getting ready to head out tomorrow on a road trip. Just this morning, I was saying to Husband, "I really need just one more day." We both fully well know that even if I had one more day to get ready, I'd be saying the same thing tomorrow.
I think it's good to periodically "prune" our To-Do lists by asking "Is this item really IMPORTANT enough to invest time/energy in?" Sometimes the answer is NO and the item can be removed. BOOM! You just made more time for the things that really matter.
Always enjoy your photos as a transplanted Bostonian living in southern CA!

We always need a good reminder from time to time.
I needed this one today! Thank you Pamela 🙏🏼
Rasha, I am so glad this resonated with you.
Thank you Pamela. Lots of love
Thank you Minaz! Love to you ❤️
Beautiful!
Thank you Janine!
Taking a deep breath and making a list helps me. It doesn't always work but I try.
Lots of deep breaths and lists Paul. I make lists and then pile things that need to be done on top of them. 😀

That sounds so amazing Cindy! We get the Redwing blackbirds here in the Spring. They are awesome to watch.
One day at a time Pamela. Do take care💛
Thank you Shital!
Love all the birds in your photos. Sometimes you just have to fly away for a while. Eventually, you’ll come flying back.
When I feel overwhelmed, I focus first the easy things that I can get done. Even if I only get one little thing done, I feel a sense of relief.
Jenn, I have been picking away, one thing at a time all this week. I'm so glad you enjoyed the photos! Thank you!
Informative
Thank you Emilio!
You're welcome always God bless you and your family
Good morning, Pamela. Thanks for this. I hope you get the rest you need and are able to slowly catch up on your list of tasks.
Your analogy of a flock of birds is perfect. Pictures are outstanding! I’ve been in the weeds since I started volunteering two days a week. I love doing it, so I’m just going to manage my time at home better.
Hope you begin to feel more energy soon, Pamela. Probably best to take on the tasks gradually, as I believe you felt unwell earlier in the week. ❤️

Great reminder Great photos! Thank you.

Just know there is someone worse off in this life than you. Give what you can to those in need.
Absolutely Richard. All the best to you. 😀
I think we've all been in that place stuck with a pile or two ... or three. Hang in there.
