The doves that talk to me

There are two kinds of doves that talk around this house.

There are a pair of mourning doves (maybe the same pair I tried to evict weeks ago, who laid an egg in a unprotected and windy spot) outside. Coo....coo-coo. If you've ever heard a mourning dove, you know how it got its name. It makes my heart hurt a tiny bit every time.

The second dove involves foil. Today, it said to me:

'Bring your life to life: stop planning and start doing'

'Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die tomorrow'

'One's best success comes after one's greatest disappointment'

The first one makes me think snarky thoughts. "I wish I could just bring my baby to life. Ha"

The second one hurts; I thought chocolate was supposed to be heart healthy.

I am still waiting for the third one to materialize.

Sometimes I wish doves would keep their thoughts to themselves.

I've noticed that I'm more sensitive to the dove wrappers than I used to be, too. If their dark chocolate wasn't so yummy, I'd give them up.

So far my favorite message: "Go ahead, have another."

I think it has, you just don't see it yet.:)

"dig if you will, a picture... of you and I engaged in a kiss" --- oh sorry, doves make me think of Prince.

I think K@l is exactly right. It's hard to see it when you are in the midst of it.

Interesting. I've never had one of those chocolates before. I didn't know they came with messages. I'm sorry it seems to be giving you some less than inspiring messages..
