New Year Magic

The New Year with all its festivities, along with all the celebration fireworks and bright lights creates a static in the air that is more than electrifying. Religious holiday festivities are over to find the worshipers becoming calmer with the rush of the season gone for another year. Joy seems to be the glint in everyone's eyes as well as the smiles that somehow usually eludes the holiday shopping frenzy.

The animal kingdom is not left out of the one celebration the whole world shares. Many species know springtime is not too far away when rejuvenation of their species will be born anew. There will be some unusual little ones born that their own will ignore. They will be ignored for many reasons, left on their own to survive, if at all.

Sometimes man happens upon one of these newborns who, against all odds, have managed to survive the harsh reality of being truly all alone in this large world. It boggles the mind when one of the little ones claimed not to be "perfect" in their specie's world, manages to make its mark on man's world and give all a life-lesson.

Such is the survival story of the albino deer. Many stories have been seen or read on the internet of how one of these beautiful creatures was rescued and how they will make their mark on our world. However the story is written, if it is true or not, is of no consequence. The will to live is deep rooted in the little fawn's soul since its birth, and that is all we need to know. Each story I've been sent, ended with the fawn being raised on someone's farm until it was hardy enough to live its life in a facility that assures longevity, such as a local zoo. The picture below is one that was attached to such a story I received by email.

The magic that was felt when I first saw this picture is kindred to the magic I feel with the approaching of 2007. Let us all keep the magic we feel at this special time in our hearts throughout the year. Perhaps stopping to help the non-humans when needed will keep the magic alive forever.

I WISH ALL OF YOU AND YOURS A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!
