I'm getting a good lesson about determination (or should I say obsessive/compulsive behavior) from that bird I blogged about last week. He's spent the better part of the last 4 days that I have been here in the office in Stone Mountain flying at/into various areas of the plate glass window that is closest to the tree that acts as his runway.

I went over to the window to try to scare him away, as I think he must be hurting himself, the way that he ferociously hits the glass. But he just looked at me with that "why don't you just let me in?" look.

And of course I have to take the actions of this bird as a lesson for me. How many times have I done the same thing, over and over again, expecting different results? Too many to count. And most of these times, I, like the bird, just wanted to be let in.
