Perseverance


I was watching my son stack some blocks this weekend, and I was amazed at how he would get so upset when everything came crashing down but then go right back to work building again without a hint of frustration.

Is it weird to say that my toddler inspires me?

I want to be able to let go of the hurts, slights, negativity, frustration, things that didn't work, and mistakes, and just plunge ahead with a good attitude, fully committed to whatever new thing is happening in life.  In fact, that is my prayer for all of us this weekend. 

And maybe, like my little guy, we will be working hard and suddenly realize that we've stacked a record 22 blocks.  :-)
