why were postmen in victorian england called robins?

I want to give something to the world that isn't bitter or sad. I should be a light. I want to be encouraging and inspiring. I want to encourage real living and love because what are we if we are not ALIVE? I mean, my purpose is not just to serve God, but to enjoy Him, and whatever faith you are, you want to enjoy life. So, what must I do? (to quote Frodo) How can I make it so my life is not a burden, but a blessing in this imperfect time?...just something I was thinking about.

Now
This is the time to be thankful
This is the time to look around you and smile
Now there should be no self pity
Or anger
Or guilt

Smell the air
Take it all in
This is life: sadness and glory
This is what you get;
Dew on the grass and the promise of morning

It is not going to be perfect
But it is right, just right.

You do not deserve anything
But you are worth it all.
Self doubt, malice, envy - it's not acceptable
Take what is in front of you
Take this moment
Soli Deo Gloria

Today I was driving in my car and I couldn't stop smiling. Something about the weather filled me with inexpressible joy. I want to be sunlight. I want to be joy. God, I pray, put joy overflowing in my cup that I can shower it on others.
