If at first.......

You've heard the old saying, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again."  I was raised never to quit.  The word just isn't in my vocabulary.  I worked for the same company for 17 years, I saw myself through to the completion of my Eagle Scout, I attempt to surround myself with positive, everyday, no matter what is going on around me.  I just keep going.

I suppose sometimes it's to a fault but I truly want to instill that quality in my children.  We will not quit.   Granted, it's still in small doses and they are still kids but each day I see in that fight in them more and more to keep trying.

My son has decided to make slacklining a past time sport, while my daughter has chosen ice skating, both of which have tested my resolve as they are not the easiest sports I've attempted.  Watching them is a continual reminder to myself to keep going.  They are watching, everything.

I will continue to peck away at the keyboard, each and every day.  This has been one of my most difficult tasks.  The day to day, searching for what seem to be the smallest of life's lessons.

Cheers
