I paused last night on my porch to look at a garden spider weaving her web.

I watched as she gently yet expertly wove the suspension lines and the lines which would entrap any insects unwary enough to wander into the gossamer threads. She spent a great deal of time making sure everything was perfect before centering herself in the middle of her work.

By morning, as the sun began to creep over the horizon, this spider moves to the fringes of her web, so carefully constructed the night before and snips the supporting lines to let it fall to the ground. She repeats this every day until the end of her life.

The spider does not try to hold on to each day's work. Instead, she lets it fall away so that she may build anew each and every day.

We should heed her lesson in our lives. Our past failures should not be dwelled on so that we can make room for the new opportunities of success. Each new day brings with it renewed hope that where we failed yesterday, we will succeed today.
