Oops There Goes Another Rubber Tree Plant

Every morning, I sit outside on the back porch while I have my first cup of coffee...to hear the birds sing and watch the wildlife wandering around sleepy eyed looking for their breakfast.

This morning, I sat in my chair and put my bare feet down on the concrete, and I felt something wiggling against my toe. I looked down and it was a tiny lizard tail wiggling around (I must've scared the lizard when I put my foot down and he dropped his tail). I watched it wiggle around for awhile, then noticed a lone ant crawling over to look at it. He stared at it for awhile, then decided to try to move it by himself. He lifted and pushed and shoved...but it wouldn't budge. Finally he gave up (or so I thought) and headed back to the ant bed. Suddenly I saw a trail of ants heading back to the tail and realized that lone ant had gone back to the bed to call in the troops:) They gathered around the tail and it didn't take long before they started marching it back to the bed for breakfast. Teamwork!

I started thinking about it...and it makes sense. Instead of trying to face obstacles alone, more of us should ask for help. It's hard to face things alone..but with a network of friends or family, anything can be accomplished. All we have to do is suck it up and ask! For the rest of the day, I had the song Rubber Tree Plant in my head....oops there goes another rubber tree plant.
