So...does "That was cool, thanks" count as a prayer?

Last Friday (my birthday) I was on my way to work. I pulled out of my development and onto the main drag that takes me to school, office, etc. A Blue Heron flew out of the woods across the street, surprising enough for winter in Buffalo, but he (?) then made a sharp right turn and flew about twenty feet ahead of me, about 30 feet up, the whole 1/4 mile or so to the next intersection. Tres cool.

My first thought was "What a nice birthday gift from God."

My second thought was "I'm going to install a Koi Pond on my roof rack so that happens more often."
