With coffee in hand, we sat down at an outdoor table at Sea World in warm, sunny Orlando, Florida. We noticed a black bird on the fence. He had only one leg, but he was perfectly balanced. We looked at him very carefully thinking he had one leg tucked into his feathers, but no, there was only one leg. We chatted about the strength of the bird and how difficult it must be to have only one leg. This bird was living our motto “You Can Do It If You Try.”

After coffee, we went to the dolphin show here at Sea World. It was amazing to see the dolphins gracefully jump in the air and then glide back into the water. More awesome than that was the water ballet created by people dressed in bird costumes flying through the air on wires. On cue, real live birds flew into the scene to become part of the ballet. Steve had a video camera and so did I. We filmed this spectacular event to share with you, but alas it didn’t work out “this time.” We need to learn more about video taping so that “next time” we can capture the picture we want. We recommend you take in the dolphin show if you visit Sea World.

Epilogue – After raising our emotions to their summit, the bird hopped down on the ground and walked away on two legs.

Have a great day.
