This morning I was quietly sitting at my kitchen table like I normally do with Buster pup at my feet when this little one caught my eye. Nestled in the Japanese Maple outside my kitchen window was a nest that I saw when I first toured this home and I took it for a sign. But last year, the nest fell into disarray and I’ll admit, it made me sad. What happened to the bird?
Two days ago, I caught sight of the robin on my window ledge, but I thought it was a fluke until yesterday and today when it landed again and again on the window ledge and then hopped into the foliage of the tree to work on the nest. Those of you who know me can imagine my delight and the huge grin on my face knowing that the robin is back to nest right outside my kitchen window in a safe spot!
I looked up the significance of robins and here’s what I found:
If a robin keeps visiting you in indicates good luck. According to myths and legends, Robins appear once a loved one is dead. Allegedly, the Robin is often seen after you encounter a loss of someone you love, who is the spirit of the deceased person trying to tell you not to worry and that they love you. A simple message from heaven, that this loved one is watching over you. Many people have proven this legend true. Robins also appear spiritually, to remind you to uncover the happiness. To see two robins consequently can indicate that you should share your knowledge. Robins are also associated with the end of an old phase and the entering of a new one. To see Robin means you need to let go of what no longer serves you and find something else to bring you joy and happiness. The Robin bird is encouraging you to be brave again.

Yesterday he even pecked at my window to let me know he was there! I looked it up and read all about how they see their reflection and think it’s another bird, but not this one. It was a rainy day and it hasn’t happened again today when it’s sunny! So I am going to believe that he just wanted my attention.
So, on the eve of Mother’s Day, I have to say how much I love this gift from Mother Nature! To feel as if my Mom and those who love me who have passed on are coming around? Well, that just makes The Presents of Presence even more special, don’t you think?
Shine On!
