Let’s learn a lesson from the life of an oyster!!
These not so attractive creatures from the sea produce a beautiful pearl BUT ever wonder how??

It starts off with an ‘irritant’ (grit, sand…). The oyster builds up layers around this ‘irritant’ material which eventually grows into the pearl. 

Now think about that as an analogy to life. We all have ‘irritants’ in our lives! We can choose how we deal with them. 

I will choose to transform that irritant to a life lesson, a ‘plot twist’, and look for the beauty that comes out from it! 
What will you choose to do??
Read this cute poem I found😁!
There once was an oyster

Whose story I tell,

Who found that some sand 

Had got into his shell.

It was only a grain,

But it gave him great pain.

For oysters have feelings

Although they’re so plain.
Now, did he berate

The harsh working of fate

That had brought him

To such a deplorable state?

Did he curse at the government,

Cry for election,

And claim that the sea should

Have given him protection?
No – he sad to himself

As he lay on a shell,

Since I cannot remove it,

I shall try to improve it.

Now the years have rolled around,

As the years always do,

And he came to his ultimate

Destiny – stew.
And the small grain of sand

That had bothered him so

Was a beautiful pearl

All richly aglow.

Now the tale has a moral;

For isn’t it grand

What an oyster can do 

With a morsel of sand?
What couldn’t we do

If we’d only begin

With some of the things

That get under our skin.
