THE DONKEY AND THE WELL
One day a donkey fell into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided the donkey was old, and the Well, needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down. The wise animal hit on a plan.
As each spadeful of dirt hit his back, the donkey would shake it off and take a step up on the growing mound of earth. Eventually, the mount grew high enough for him to step out of the well and happily trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. We can get out of the deepest well by not stopping and never giving up. Just shake it off and take a step up.

This was not written by me and there's no reason for me to post this other then I read it and thought "why not"? I don't usually write blogs because I don't care to share my life with people I don't know and I get out and talk to people in person, but I'm playing for this membership so I might as well post something.
Here is the site I read this on. I StumbledUpon it so if it doesn't open, sorry.
