Do ants ever give up?

When that crumb of bread they are carrying is too heavy, do they stop
And quit?

If an ANT encounters an obstacle, do they crawl over or pick another path?

Do they deviate?

Am I am ANT? A true Ant?


All those choices I was bombarded by in the Spring… have been faced, but not yet conquered. I have decided:

• The house is in foreclosure. It didn’t sell.
• I am moving to Utah. Jeddy and I will live with my parents there.
• I will have to leave El Jay here, for now.
• I will deal with whether to return to school later.


This is one of those times when I feel I am telling this story remotely. This is not my story. How can it be? If it were, I would be crying.
