Duck!

Twice yesterday we drove past a place that generally for about 11 months of the year has no water in it.  Today there was water and low and behold there were ducks swimming in it.
I thought to myself “there has got to be a lesson in there somewhere.”
So I got to thinking about the ducks and how they are such opportunists.  I admit I have never heard of a duck lying awake at night wondering where the water was coming from and if there would be any again.
It is like as we put it, “they play the hand they are dealt.”  If there is no water in a particular spot they do not stress.  They do what they do.  It seems whatever state they find themselves in they are content.  If there is water to swim in great.  If not they forage and fly and come across water.  I have had ducks land in my pool at one place I lived.
They had me thinking how that is a good lesson for me.  I will do all I need to have what is needed, but it is a waste of time to worry and stress about anything - in particular what I cannot control. 
What I eat and what I have to wear matters less than who I am.  I would be less than honest to suggest that does not matter to me at all as it does but it is not the most important thing to me.
All I possess can disappear so quickly.  I reckon it is important that I can lose everything but still have all I need.  Truth is I brought nothing with me and when I go I can take nothing with me except who I am.
So I reckon those ducks are onto something.  They looked so content and were obviously having a good time.  They just do it.  I aspire to it and do it.
