Birds scatter, humans should, traffic overtakes.

My little friends - the lorrikeets.
How quickly time passes. But I had a lovely experience first thing this morning, there was a little bird waiting for me to open the window which I did slowly and gently not wanting to frighten it away, usually there are two together but there was just the one this morning.
I noticed it eyeing off my apples,when I have more time I indulge them sometimes and they'll gorge themselves on the fruit. And, I might say make a horrible mess along the way scattering bits of chewed up apple everywhere and I didn't have time for that today. So I broke off a piece of wholemeal bread and let it nibble away on that, it took it from my fingers.
Needless to say, it did not stay very long. I used to buy wild bird seed but they would come and just pick out the sunflower seeds and leave the rest scattered everywhere.
Well, did I have a funny day yesterday.
Several people came by my office that I never see much of, usually and all wanting to comment about my going for drinks with the 'hoy poloy' on the previous Friday evening.
I expected this and as the day wore on I realised I was being the victim of some not unwell intentioned good old fashioned 'ragging'. But I rose to the occasion much to my surprise, really, and responded accordingly but at the same time I discouraged them from repeating their visit as I really did need to get on with my work.
I think it was the best day I'd had at work but whilst one day would be overlooked a few more like it would bring frowns of disapproval.
I'm looking forward to next Friday, even though I know that once I have some 'better offers' I shan't bother any more. I am a business woman under all this frivolity, otherwise I would not have got where I am.
But today the little bird was my friend and companion if but for a short while, these things lift my spirits enormously and I can hear several birds chattering outside my window as they fly on their merry way. They are such active little creatures, birds, aren't they?
To be true to my own blog I really should expand on those themes of fear love hate more.
After all it was never my intention to speak only of me.
Some people do have very deeply rooted fears that stand in the way of their enjoyment of life. I wonder about those people. They do not seek professional help and barely acknowledge that they do have a problem. Do you know of anyone like that?
Sometimes fears can be more general and don't seem isolated to just the one area, rather the people could be desribed as being inherently fearful. I wonder what others feel about these things. We all have fears and I've expressed some of mine.
On a day to day basis I am not too concerned about fears but every time I get in the car I fear for what I will experience in the traffic. I haven't had an accident and dread the thought of it but they can happen so very quickly and there are so many clowns on the road. What do you think?
Incidentally, there is more than one Crystal here, that is why I carry the Orble name of Krystal while continuing to use my own name with the spelling Crystal. I suppose I could swap over but I like my own name and the spelling. Simple, really, isn't it? I do hope that makes things a bit clearer for people and if people call me Krystal, I really don't mind at all.
Well, it's off to work and into the traffic.

I love the picture of the lorikeets. You are so lucky to have one willing to come so close!

I'm really sorry to hear of your dilemma. Admitting a problem is half way to curing it.
Your image suggest great composure and calm, I would never have believed you had fears, as you suggest you have them tucked away.
But I was happy to see you fears and all, you might like to think of one that is not going to make you feel to uncomfortable if you state it. After all everyone is afraid of the traffic, aren't they? With some. It's serious issues likes heights and enclosed spaces and getting out into the open.
But this is a fairly elemaentary exploration of feelings. Things which people feel comfortable about sharing.
Lovely to see you, I've had such a busy day.
Crystal.
