      I Let "Rocky" the baby Robin I found July 4th after he fell out of his nest from way up high in a maple tree in the wooded field behind my house go today. He has been with me for one full month today! It was time, he has grown so much since I carried him home that day and he is a strong Flyer now! I took him to a park which is also a wildlife refuge. (A little sadness) but more happy that he survived and now he has a really good shot at living the way a robin should. Instead of being locked in a cage for hours on end. Bye Rocky!

   You did the right thing twice. You took him under your wing when he needed you to, and let him free when he was ready. A little sadness is normal, it's healthy. I'd probably be having little crying jags, that's normal for me...it's okay to laugh, I'm a crier. I can remember when I wasn't. My mom didn't like us to cry, so we didn't. My younger sister still doesn't cry very often, I'm not sure about my older one. But I do, a psychiatrist once told me it's okay to cry, he said for me it was a way of letting my anger out. Had another psychiatrist tell me it was okay to cry, but that it doesn't help anger. Whatever...lol
   
   Moral of that comment is, cry if you need to!
   
   Geez, I'm trying the stop smoking gum, I can feel where it's helping with the nicotine cravings, but it's kinda' nasty :p But I could see myself getting addicted to it, ending up abusing it! Just tried blowing a bubble with it, you can, but it's not as much fun as a nice tasting piece of bubble gum. I love sugar, love it. I went for 2 whole yrs without it, it got easier with time. I felt great weight wise, it took me about a yr to drop 20lbs, and it stayed off. I let myself go crazy when my mom was dying, as far as my sugar addiction goes! I don't know why, but it's hard for me to eat just a little goodie, you know, once in a while, like the supposedly "normal" people out there! lol But I'm trying to get it out of my mind that I can't handle a little sugar, that's silly, it's not like I'm diabetic...geez, it's me. If a little is good, a lot is better. I just have to get tougher on myself, I know how I am.
   
   Bye, Rocky, have a good bird life. One day at a time, Rocky...animals already "get" that concept, we can learn so much from our little buddies.
   
   And one day at a time for you to....Hugs, Robin...I'm a robin, too
