Queen Bee

I saw a strange sight this morning as I got into my truck to head to work. A carpenter bee was buzzing a blue jay that stood on the ground under the oak tree. It was too close to the barn. A million and one carpenter bees are making their nests in the wood. Like slow fat samuri, the carpenter bee kept buzzing the bird until the bird caved in and flew away. I was amazed that the bird didn't attack the bee. I realized the tenacity of the insect is what beat the bird's defiance down to zero.

I was thinking...maybe I should be tenacious as the carpenter bee, flying at people's heads until they run away...recognizing that I am Queen Bee.

I think I am a wise woman. lol
