Owls Galore

On Sunday night, at the very end of the evening, I saw an owl. I wasn't expecting to see any on Sunday, since I'd seen the twin owls on Saturday. My husband was showing me a program on the computer that is for children- kind of like a computerized version of a felt board. One of the scene options was a forest with animals- and lo and behold, there was a little owl. Made me smile.

I didn't see any owls while I was awake yesterday, apparently they were saving up for when I was sleeping. Last night I was dreaming of owls... Owls on scrapbook paper, owls in trees, owls in books, there were owls everywhere in my dreams last night.

No owls yet today, but it's still early.


...Well, as it turns out, I did find my owl today, although not in a way I expected. I was thinking today about what a friend had said to me the other day about my temperament type- she said I was a "Melancholic". So I decided to poke around on the internet and see what information I could find about it. (I agree with her 100%, by the way). The second website I found said this- "Animals used to symbolize the Melancholic include the pig, cat, and owl. "

The OWL. Ding Ding Ding! There it is!

How crazy is that? Without even knowing it, I asked for the universe to send me a symbol of my temperament.

Another website I found attributed a specific bird to each of the 4 temperaments... of course the owl corresponded with melancholic-

3. Melancholic – Owl: Often very kind and considerate, melancholics can be highly creative, as in poetry and art – but also can become overly pre-occupied with details and facts. The melancholic person is a perfectionist, being very particular about what they want and how they want it in. These people are deep, thoughtful, analytical, serious and purposeful.

Very me.

I'm off to bed- let's see if I dream about owls again...
