Words to live by…

“Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.”

I need to remember this more often, as when I am learning a new skill, or a new technique, I often get so mad when I can’t pick it up perfectly the very first time…

On Thursday, I had a driving lesson, and spent some time trying to get to grips with driving “Coachman’s Style” – or with both my reins in one hand. It was difficult, yeh, and I have the fine motor skills of a baby chimpanzee, but I’m getting there… I “got it,” however briefly my success lasted.

It’s almost time to go back to Ireland – 5 days now!
