Back on that bike....

When I was young and learning how to ride a bike, I kept falling and scrapping my knees. I of course cried and told my Dad that I didn't want to ride it anymore. Dad of course being the guy he was, said you need to get back on that bike and learn how to ride it!!! I would fall, He would say, get back on the bike, I would fall, Back on the bike. Finally he told me that If I was to get back on that bike and learn how to ride it, the hurt from falling off would be forgotten, because I would have my mind on other things, like going down the road at 5 miles an hour, and seeing things I had never seen before.

I have used that analogy many times in my life, dealing with people that hurt and swear they are never going to do it again. It won't hurt as bad if you get back on that bike.

I Think I am getting back on the bike. I have been saying to my higher power...PLEASE LET ME FIND THE PERFECT PUPPY. I didn't care how long it took. I opened the Seattle Times want ad section yesterday and there in black and white print only 1/2 mile from me was a listing for cocker puppies. My Daughter and Bob both think I should wait until I am through with the playhouse for the season. Bob of course wants me to go get a rescue dog. I would, but there aren't any puppies, and I WANT A BABY!!! These puppies are 6 1/2 weeks old, and ready to go. Just the perfect age to bond with me. I have an appointment to go see her at 1:00. There is only 1 female. IF I get her, her name will be Sadie. Do not ask me why...just came to me.

If this was not meant to be, then she will not be there when I go see her. Maybe the perfect puppy will be a Male. HERE SADIE, HERE SADIE, Come on BOY! nahhhhh....gotta be a girl. WIsh me luck, Here I go!!!!...
