Perseverance 101

She thought about it. Looked at it from every single angle. Carefully weighed her options. Measured it with her eyes over and over. And then finally, with hunger outweighing fear, she jumped out with every ounce of courage she could muster and grabbed the wire and shimmied down to her reward. After that initial success, she effortlessly leaped out time and again, never again hesitating, never questioning what was possible.

Proof that what holds us back is confined to what we tell ourselves. I never know what clever disguise my next "teacher" will choose.

So... here I am, sitting by the window enjoying my book and a cup of tea, when I glance outside and spot this "rodent with a tail" trying to figure out how to reach my bird feeder.

he quickly went high and low, contemplating his strategy....

when suddenly, he glances over and sees ME at eye level, staring out the window at him.

Clearly he has a problem with being photographed because...
the next thing I knew, he flung himself through the thorny rose bushes and landed on the window sill where he tried to figure out how to get in. And do what? Tell me all about it? The more I think about it, I'm fairly certain I've seen him somewhere before because he looked very familiar....
