The squirrels are scurrying all around the neighborhood gathering nuts and storing them away. They are busy little creatures and they are planning ahead for the months when their supply of "low hanging fruit" - acorns and seeds -- is not available. (Here in New England, it is bound to be covered with snow!)
I've spent some mornings and evenings on my front porch and watched these industrious little animals running back and forth collecting their foodstuffs. It doesn't matter if the weather is hot or cool, they are just working all the time.
Something tells me we should be planning ahead, just like these little critters. We've had our laid-back easy summer, the kids are back in school, the seasons are about to change, and it's time to get down to business. Whether you're going to blog more, or make more phone calls, or direct mail, or get involved with some new (for you) organization around town, it's time to start paying attention to making sure our "storehouses" have enough supply to get us through the winter.
Interestingly enough, I've heard that squirrels store and store and store their nuts everywhere, but, with their little brains, really don't remember where they put them all. But they've got so much stored, when they need a supply, they can always find one.
We do have an advantage over the squirrels! We can choose get organized, keep good records, and to act with purpose. Just as there are always acorns, there are always buyers and sellers who need to buy or sell now! So if we plan ahead, put some systems in place, and do more than we need to now, when we need to find some "nuts" and "seeds" for our own tables, we'll have gathered ahead of time and we won't have to go too far to find them!
