While I didn't set out to be Head Gardener for a clan of rabbits led by a fearless matriarch, I found that changing the story I tell myself when I find my plants eaten has made it a lot more fun.
What a lovely update on a great topic - changing perspective to enjoy what you cannot control. That said, there is also wonderful humor in the "battle" you outline, which some of us are similarly losing on a daily basis. That does not stop us from trying again - which just makes the interaction with the bunnies more challenging and the need to further adjust our point of view :)!
Our perspective pivot with the Carlisle Bunnies (as we like to call them) came after the kids looked out the window one April morning and exclaimed that the Easter Bunny had come early. I haven't been able to be mad at them every since, because it was a moment of wonder that was precious.
Thanks for this beautifully written story from the rabbits perspective. I needed to hear this today. ;-)
So glad it resonated! It is a lesson that I remember and then forget again on a regular basis

They are definitely determined, and surely outnumber us, so we need to keep reminding each other of the perspective change!

I love that, Amy. Moments of wonder really can help to shift one’s point of view!
