When problems overwhelm us and sadness smothers us, where do we find the will and the courage to continue? The answer may come from the caring voice of a friend. Or a chance encounter with a book. Or from a personal faith.

For me, help came from my faith, but, it also came from a squirrel. Shortly after my divorce, I lost my father. Then I lost my job. I had mounting money problems. But not only did I survive, I worked my way out of despondency and, now, life is good again.

How could this happen?

Well, 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 along, 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.

Humans don't eat acorns, but thanks for trying to cheer me up. :sigh:
