If you fall off the horse...
This is not a very compelling image, but today was a life lesson day for my daughter, and I couldn't be a prouder father. Sometimes metaphors are subtle. Other times, they are very literal and smack you right upside the head.
Here she is getting ready for her lesson. Ladybug is a tough pony to ride, very free spirited. Stella was thrown off her horse for the 1st time today, and she has been riding for over a year. She was not hurt. She was scared and startled, and cried for a couple of minutes. I gave her a big hug, we dusted her off, and she got back up on the horse and rode. She rode the first few minutes with tears running down her face, but she rode. She was scared it would happen again, but she rode. Towards the end, she was smiling again as she rode.
She fell off her horse, dusted herself off, and got right back on. And I was beaming
Life lesson learned peanut, and you did great!
