(When problems overwhelm us and sadness smothers us, where do we find the will and the courage to continue? Well, the answer may come in the caring voice of a friend, a chance encounter with a book, or from a personal faith. For Janet, help came from her faith, but it also came from a squirrel. Shortly after her divorce, Janet lost her father, then she lost her job. She had mounting money problems. But Janet not only survived, she worked her way out of despondency and now she says life is good again. How could this happen? She told me that late, one autumn day when she was at her lowest, she watched a squirrel storing up nuts for the winter. One at a time he would take them to the nest, and she thought, "If that squirrel can take care of himself with the harsh winter coming on, so can I." Once I broke my problems into small pieces, I was able to carry themjust like those acornsone at a time.)
Thanks a lot Marius, I appreciate it, the description is an excerpt from a song called Little Acorns by The White Stripes, which is my girlfriend's favourite band, and one of her favourite songs, she likes that part very much too so that's why I chose it for the description of her photo.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community.
