I've always received a lot of inspiration and encouragement from nature. Whenever I am going through a rough time, it seems like I can walk outside and see some miracle of nature that I didn't expect to see and it always makes me calm down and realize that everything is going to be all right.
I've been having a pretty rough couple of days trying to deal with a legal issue for my elderly mother. Its a SERIOUS issue that has required me to deal with several lawyers (one of them very immoral and unethical) and spend several hours on the phone with Medicaid.
At the end of the day, I was sitting here looking out my office window and I saw a fish in our little pond. A Miracle fish. The reason it is a miracle is because when we went away on vacation several months ago, we came back to a blue heron that was eating our fish. We only had seven small koi to begin with and we haven't seen any fish except a dead one for 4 months, and its a LITTLE pond.
But lo and behold, there was a little koi, swimming around like he has been there all along.
I have no idea how he survived the heron OR the fact that we haven't fed him for months or done anything else to the pond, but there he is.And he just made me realize that what I'm going through isn't so rough after all. If he can make it through all of that, I guess I can make it through this new stage with my mother.
