When I was little, I read a short story called 'The Coot Who Kept On.' It was about various coots, who had pretty straightforward cootish lives. However, one coot suffered many setbacks but she kept on keeping on. This was, of course, The Coot Who Kept On .
This steadfast attitude has always impressed me and - although it often takes me a while to get going with starting things - I do try to keep on keeping on, once I've made an initial commitment.
I saw this baby coot today. It was so very small and fuzzy wuzzy.
I could have kept on watching the coot family all day long.
These 'nother coots were in a city canal (in 2005) and I could stand on the low bridge and get super close to them and their nest.
Huzzah for coots and for keeping on!
