Couldn't get youtube to upload the video.
Photobucket was happy to upload it but Prosebox is not as accommodating to photobucket videos, so anyway - you'll have to click on the link if you want the movie.

Jim is being reminded of the book about the dog who wishes he were a human and then before he dies wishes he had appreciated being a dog more.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull wanted to be a better seagull.

I suppose life is about transformation: transcending the mundane.
Or is it about appreciating the life we've been given?
I suppose it's about both.
Edit I figured out how to get the video into youtube so now you should be able to access it directly.

We were watching the seagulls yesterday too.
Were you able to access the prosebox wikispaces? I got an email saying you requested to be a member, but I don't run that site (I helped with the creation of it), so I can't add members anymore. But I think you don't need to be a member, you can just view anything. Were you not able to view the whole wiki (all the FAQ)?
In there it says: You can embed a YouTube video just by pasting the URL directly into your entry. All you need is the URL; Prosebox inserts the embedding code for you. Did you try that? Here's the page that talks about it: https://prosebox.wikispaces.com/How+do+I+insert+a+Youtube+video%3F

I've embedded youtube videos many times without any trouble. This time it was a Photobucket video that I couldn't embed. I didn't spend a lot of time on it.
I did get into wiki prosebox.. I will look around there. Thank you.

When I posted the photobucket url all i got was the photobucket url = not an embedded video.
I got graciespeople's account in youtube straightened out now and can upload the video to youtube and then embed it in prosebox -

Oh sorry, I misunderstood.. I thought you couldn't get the youtube vid to post. Did you see the wikispaces post about how to post Photobucket videos? Sorry if I'm bugging you because you've already looked there... just want to give you a solution if there is one. :) https://prosebox.wikispaces.com/How+do+I+insert+a+video+that+isn%27t+on+Youtube%3F

Ziggy likes to chase Seagulls, I’m just happy he doesn’t have wings, a week or three ago I was stood on the edge of a very muddy lawn when he saw a large bird fly out of a near tree, I found my self slipping and sliding across the lawn with out going gown; I concentrate more now!
I think we are better enjoying today, tomorrow is unknown! I think I’ve just rewritten your penultimate line !!!

That's a nice photo. I imagine the wind and the breeze.

Phenomenal photo. Will watch the video now! Happy you were along the river. Wasn't it magical? / I am stimulated by your queries. It seems almost innate in most of us to question this and that about our lives and think the grass is greener. I have been given the best of lives yet I know people who haven't and are much happier. I think it's physiology and genes. Happiness truly is in ones mind and way of thinking. The trick is to manage that. One thing I do know, having Spot in my lap, looking at me right now is marvelous. I told him you are a big fan. If you pick me up before our walk he will gladly rub your legs!

I read the Art of Racing in the Rain book because Miss E. was auditioning for a stage version so I understand. I do think life is all about transformation. Everything is always changing all the time. :) Seagulls become gulls.
