Deer Goes A Swimming

Last night we heard a strange noise. I cant even describe it really because I had my headphones on listening to a youtube video at the time but I was still aware of some kind of crashing noise. Gene heard the noise too and it was loud.
When he and I went out to investigate we saw that a LOT of water had come out of the pool and that all the ground on one side of the pool was really wet.
The first thing a person thinks since it is one of those great big Walmart pools is that it sprung a leak.
We looked and looked and never found a place where water was still coming out of the pool. Finally on one area of the pool's side, as I held up my flashlight (this was after dark) I noticed that water had been SPLASHED on the side of the pool.
I called Gene over to see and we both made the conclusion that it must have been a deer and that the deer had managed to push down on one side of the pool hard enough to let out water before it ran off.
The logical thing to assume is that it pushed down with its front feet as it stood outside of the pool but if you saw how MUCH water we lost and the splash marks, I think you would wonder like me, if instead the deer had actually been IN the pool!

The Winning Attitude

From the book "The Winning Attitude" by John C Maxwell:

Never underestimate the power of your attitude. It is the advance man of our true selves. It's roots are inward, but its fruit is outward. It is our best friend or our worst enemy. It is more honest and more consistent than our words. It has an outward look based on past experiences. It is the thing which draws people to us or repels them. It is never content until it is expressed. It is the librarian of our past, it's the speaker of our present, and it's the prophet of our future.
