Sometimes we can learn things in unlikely places or from unsuspecting people. Such is the case with my cottage mate Mary. Without even trying she has given me a lesson in strength. What makes this so interesting is that she is the most gentle person you would ever meet...but don't mess with her! I witnessed on several occasions her fortress boundaries and I just stood in awe. The great thing is that once the battle was over, it appeared as if there wasn't ever a storm. Not a single leaf was shaken from the great oak. And all the while her sweetness remained in tact.
