The Proud, The Strong

It's easy to take things in our lives for granted. Take this house finch, for example.  There are so many around here I rarely choose one as my blip.

I stopped some time ago taking my Mom for granted.  I seem to still do it with other people, though. It's an awareness thing and something I'm working on. 

Maybe if I can keep that common, house finch in my mind I will be more successful as I wander through life.
