squirrel inspiration

Sometimes I find meaning and inspiration in the strangest places. Today sitting at my desk, I looked out my window and watched a squirrel climbing up one of the tall pine trees behind my apartment. In her mouth were a bunch of leaves, though I must admit I didn't know that squirrels built nests in trees? Anyway, a few leaves fell out of her mouth down to the ground. She paused, turned around for a second and then continued up the tree with the remaining leaves. This somehow how reminded me that it is important to continue to move forward in life even when you encounter some setbacks. Most of the time it isn't worth it to revisit the past over and over again but instead take what you have and press onward.
