Lift off....

Lift off....

The final in this series..

Back watching the ladybirds from Mt Burr again today. As the sun finally came out after days of crisp cold and rain they began to move about, climb and eventually take off for places unknown.

Watching them today I couldn’t help but think of how many lessons they could teach.

This one showed me that often you just have to keep on flapping and eventually it will happen…takeoff…

There are many defining moments in our lives. Let them define you or flap hard and define them yourself…..

What amazing creatures they are!
