Hope and persistence
My five-year-old daughter has spent the past four hours digging outside…with an umbrella.
When questioned, she replied with simple optimism:
“I’m digging for water, Mommy, and I know I’m almost there!”
I am not sure if I should mention that we live in the desert, and that the water table is far, far, far below us.
I think I will just let her dig.



Fours hours is a long time to be digging, but I love her persistence… says a lot about her work ethic. I say that if she is entertained and can keep herself occupied than let her keep doing what she is dong.
