Burlap and Blues, The Blues Blog

As many of you know, I am doing some serious bike riding to try and lose a little weight. Today while riding on my bike by the river, I heard this high pitched quiet screeching sound. I looked over where the sound was coming from and I saw a little snapping turtle who had fallen sideways between some rocks, and he was stuck....

I chuckled a for a second at the little guy who was stuck and decided to go give the little dude a hand. When I got over, the snapping turtle wanted nothing to do with me. He tried to bite my finger off several times. I finally put a stick in front of his face and got the little snapping turtle unstuck. When he got his bearings, he looked at me and hissed like something I never heard. I laughed at the little guy as he made his way back in to the river.

I got back on my bike thinking to myself, there is a little lesson in this for me. How many times do people try and help me and I turn them away. We all need a little help up from time to time, and we also need to learn to accept it.

Have a great day!
