"A Friendly Bird Stole The Boredom Today"

This bird made me to forget to watch the time. It kept me entertained for several minutes. 9-13-2019 Perryton, TX
 

This bird landed on the concrete slab near where I was sitting out at Chucks house today. It pranced back and forth for quite some time while I watched it. I am sure this bird knew I was watching it as I was sitting there when it landed in front of me. No other bird joined it all the time it danced around, and that is unusual. Most of the time other birds follow suit, and never stay but a few seconds, then they all fly away. This day had to be an unusual day for me in more ways than one. I attended the Grand Opening of the  Golden Mesa Casino at Guymon, Oklahoma yesterday. This place has been a century in reality of it's opening. We are thrilled to have a place close by to spend time with friends, and let the rest of the world go by. I was so over whelmed at the awesome design of this huge building with all the latest technology features even with a money machine where one could either get money out of their bank account, of get cash for their tickets taken out of their game machines. This is a very new feature for me. Always before two machines were needed to do both transactions. The entire interior was sparking clean with many beautiful, colored lights. I saw more smiling faces there than I've seen anywhere in one place. It was obvious that everyone was having a great time. People were extra friendly, and helpful.


A complimentary lunch was served with every kind of goodies that could be thought of. The crowd was the largest I had seen in one place ever before. Lots of men in black suits were walking around like they were ready to assist you in any way. I left some money there, but I considered it a small price to pay for such great entertainment, good food, and lively atmosphere. Our minds were free from politics, and all the confusion it leaves a person wondering about every day they sit in their homes. I am not recommending that people should visit the Casino's more, and be dumb enough to lose more money than they can afford, but neither am I for going on expensive cruses, and taking chances of either drowning, or getting burned up like some have just recently had to happen. I am a modest person in every aspect of life. And for my imperfections I repent daily, for I know I have plenty even if I am not aware of them. This day is coming to an end, and I am feeling much better than when I got up this morning. I wasn't happy about going to work at the old grind after such a wonderful day yesterday. But common since does come with time. I can wait for the next chance I get to be entertained, and enjoy the few years I might have left in this life. I can also share my tears with those who are having a hard time dealing with depression, and anxiety. Those numbers are increasing tremendously every day. I will help them fight their battles in any way I can.


God Bless
