"MY BUDDIES, THE SEAGULLS"
"MOMENT IN TIME ON A SOUTH TEXAS BEACH"
I remember the time I sat on the beach.
The seagulls formed a circle around me.
I thought, "How could this be?"
They looked at me with their beady black eyes,
Calm and reassuring so I sighed.
I fed them my snacks of chips.
We sat on the beach snacking on the beach.
They were happy as could be.
My anxiety flew away to the sea,
As it was just me and my feathered friends,
Wanting this moment in time to never end.

Time for #2
This is the second article on my review of the ideas in The Four Agreements. Here's the first article: I knew that I'd move forward with this series, but I put it off as Agreement #2 is a big stumbling block for me. I'd like to say I decided to get out of my own way and thus wrote this, but that isn't the truth. (Since Agreement #1 is to Be Impeccable with Your Word I surely need to own up to that)

I loved everything about this. Thank you Vicki for so poetically sharing your experiences with your seabirds. My mom is from rockport, texas. I've never been there but because she's from there I feel like I have a connection to that area. I really very much enjoyed all your photos. Excellent work!
Loved this, so carefree and relaxing. Excellent!
Awww, I wish I too could feed them like you did. Wonderful poem!
I LOVE IT 😍
Love this to bits!
