He Conquers Who Endures

Blog soundtrack:



With yesterday’s miserable weather (snow! ☃) in our metrological past, Rover asked to go out this morning. Even though it was a bit cool, I let her out because it was sunny. After telling her to say "Hi" to Harold, Eileen, Barbara, and Rob for me, I made my way up to my desk, sat down with my cup of coffee in my front of my laptop, and I then glanced out the window.

I saw Rover making her way across the street to Harold and Eileen’s.



She waddled by the mailbox, up the steep driveway, and then I saw her round the large bush and disappear behind it. I didn’t recognize the car in the driveway; I assumed it must belong to a nurse. A few minutes later, Rover appeared from behind the bush and waddled back down the driveway and into the yard.

A few minutes passed, and again, I saw Rover waddle across the street, repeat her journey up the driveway, stopping to rest at one point this time, and again disappear behind the large bush. Obviously, the person at home did not know that Rover was a daytime resident, because minutes later, a, probably by now, weary Rover waddled back down the driveway, across the street, and back into the yard.

I was just about ready to go downstairs and bring her in when Rob’s car pulled in the driveway. And, it was as if Rob had called her on her cell phone to tell let her know that he was now at the house. Within moments of his arrival, Rover crossed the street a third time, waddled up the driveway, disappeared behind the bush, and I haven’t seen her since. ☀

This morning, Rover reminds me how important it is to persevere in order to always find yourself in a place where love flows unconditionally. ♥
