PERSERVERANCE

"Hope whispers, 'Try it one more time.'"
~Author Unknown ~

The itsy bitsy spider song has a powerful lesson to teach. The spider gets washed out and struck down, but as soon as the sun comes out and dries things up, the spider climbs again.
     Over and over and across the years as we sing the song the little spider climbs and falls and climbs and falls. Never deterred, never discouraged, just up and down and wet and dry and life as it comes: no judgment, no self-pity, no victimization.
     The sun and the spider work together to overcome the rain.

I am as tireless as the itsy bitsy spider and keep on climbing the spout no matter how many times I get washed away.
