My desk overlooks a patch of woods behind my house. Today it’s above freezing but the ground is still snow covered, making any activity in the woods stand out. And boy is there a lot of activity!  A dozen or so squirrels have emerged from their nests to gather the food they hid last fall, stretch their legs, explore the changes in their surroundings, and just generally frolic about.

They look so carefree, jumping about, running up and down the trees – enjoying the moment for what it is rather than worrying about what might happen next. A good lesson to remember.
