So You Had A Bad Day

This morn­ing, while Bella was tak­ing me for a walk, I noticed a tree that I hadn’t really thought about before. Nor­mally, you don’t asso­ciate trees with a bad day, but today, oh the inspi­ra­tion light went off in my head. You see, here is a tree that early on was beheaded. I don’t know why or how it hap­pened, but it’s pretty clear that this tree took quite a blow. In my book, being beheaded falls in the cat­e­gory of a bad day.

This tree could have decided to shrivel up and die, but did it? Oh no! Just the oppo­site. This tree chose to not only con­tinue grow­ing, but shot upward as a new mighty tree, stand­ing tall. Sure, the bat­tle scar still shows, but that hasn’t stopped this unique tree.

Then I think of myself. How many times have I had a bad day and just wanted to go to bed, cover my head, and call it quits. Start­ing today, I want to be a tree.
