Courageous Tree Frog

In the Rainstorm of Life, Be this Frog

Yesterday I had a life lesson served up to me by a little tree frog.

We’ve all been in his shoes…He was just minding his business, having a day, and he decided to sit down on a bench to rest. And then it started to rain. And then someone went and pulled the bench out from under him!

We’ve all had the rug tugged out from under our feet more than once. Your world starts shaking, and everything is in play. And often the very best thing you can do is to HOLD ON until you can get your bearings. So when you’re having one of those days, I suggest you remember this tree frog. Hang strong, my friend.

Even when the rain starts coming and the going gets really rough… Hang in there!

Note: No tree frogs were harmed in the making of these videos. I turned off my wipers and he decided that he would find a calmer bench elsewhere and hopped to safety. Which is also a wise lesson: know when to make your exit.

p.s., this video is loaded on the new Minhas Crônicas do Brasil YouTube channel. Have you subscribed yet?
