When problems overwhelm and sadness smothers us where do we find the will and the courage to continue? Well, the answer may come in the caring voice of a friend, a chance encounter with a book, but also from a squirrel. Not so long ago I lost my father. But not only did I survive this I worked my way out of despondency and now, life is good again. How could this happen? Late one autumn day when I was at my lowest I watched a squirrel storing up nuts for the winter. One at a time he would take them to the nest. And I thought, if that squirrel can take care of himself with the harsh winter coming, then so can I. Once I broke my problems into small pieces I was able to carry them, just like those acorns, one at a time.Take all your problems and rip 'em apart! The problems in hand you should know from the start are lighter than at heart. Be like the squirrel, give it a whirl, be like the squirrel!!!
