Preparation / Careful Planning / Adaptability / Conservation
Squirrel is a member of the rodent family. There are two main kinds of squirrels, the red and the gray. The gray squirrel is the most common and found in the cities, while the red squirrel is found in the forests and woods. There is also a black squirrel which is an aggressive strain of the gray squirrel. There are also flying squirrels which do not really fly. The skin of the flying squirrel stretches enabling it to glide from tree to tree. Squirrel has a lot of nervous energy but is sociable and loves to chatter and scold when strangers approach. Squirrel spends a lot of time gathering and storing food which it locates later because of its keen sense of smell.
Squirrel’s message teaches us to plan ahead and prepare for the future. Squirrel tells us to save for a rainy day. Don’t use up all of your resources. We must put something away to help us get through the bad times. Prepare also for seasonal changes. In periods of plenty save a little something for future use. However, if you have been hoarding things, get ready to release and let go. Take inventory! Donate your time, energy and resources to a worthy cause. Phone a charitable organization and share your abundance with others. Open a savings account. Test your discipline and control. If you are spending too much money, find out where it is going? It may also be a good opportunity to temporary withdraw from the world, count your blessings and wait for better times.
