Excitement at times can be long-lasting and in during for a long time after the event that caused the excitement to erupt within the soul of the excited person. On other occasions, excitement can be very short-lived, with a life akin to an exploding firecracker that lights up the night sky but only for a few seconds.

An enduring excitement for me has been that of marrying, having our family and in more recent times welcoming our grandchildren. That excitement is tempered with sobriety thinking about how much responsibility we have to nurture our family. Without a doubt, solid family relationships are exciting because of their meaningfulness and enduring nature.

A much more recent excitement happened for me around 10 minutes ago when a white cockatoo found birdseed that had Been put out to offer it sustenance. I was so glad that the cockatoo which I imagine was pretty hungry found the food source.

Over any one day, I have lots of excitement watching birds of all sizes drinking water from arranged containers and eating food that we’ve put up for them. They are wild birds but sadly have been displaced by the clearing of land for the election of houses. Destruction of a lot of natural habitat Has resulted.

So I am delighted, and often excited, knowing that when birds are feeding and watering they are being looked after.
