What My Trees Taught Me about Perseverance

I have always been amazed by the trees along the fence line of my yard. They managed to persevere and shape themselves around the obstacles in their way as they grew.

Many of them have chain link fence that goes right through them. Others have poles or pieces of brick integrated into them in odd places.

Whatever there challenges have been, they never fail to inspire me to be flexible with what life brings and never give up because with perseverance comes growth.

I hope these wise, flexible, and powerful trees inspire you as much as they do me.
