Not me......my final child. Today, I learned how to be brave, through my daughter. Today she faced her fear......she looked it boldly between the eyes and rode right through it (quite literally).
She has been having trouble with her pony lately. He is being "a pony" and not listening as well as he should. He has been having a little fun lifting his rear legs lately when she asks him to canter. Its great fun for him, not so much fun for final child. She has to work quite hard to hang on when he does this......luckily shes a tough cookie and so strong, she manages to stay in her seat.
Today, she cantered her pony, although he still wanted to be playful......She pushed him through it and herself and made him listen......and he did!!!
That entire scenario is life, isn't it??? Learning how to keep on trying no matter how scared we are. Stay in our seats no matter how rough the ride gets. Wake up the next day and mount that same pony.......over and over again and try to enjoy it all the while......
Tomorrow will be much the same.......
I am thankful for the courage to keep trying, for the strength to stay focused and for the laughter that we still manage to find through it all....
Hold on and enjoy the ride.....
