From time to time - I come up with some weird thoughts and while Harry and I were on the way to the courts to hit tennis balls before school this morning, I related Fishing to Tennis.... in a Kpa way...
Harry and Leni went to Austin this weekend - where Harry won two rounds in his tennis tournament - before coming up short in the Quarter Finals...
Not every time you go out on the lake or on the tennis court will you catch fish or win your match - but, how you participate in the activity determines if you are really successful. I told him to have fun and learn from each match. I told Harry that there have been MANY times Sassy and I been out on the water and we did not catch fish (well, not a lot)... and there have been a TON of times I have lost the last point playing tennis! But, as I have gotten OLDER (Kpa Status) I have learned that living and learning through defeat is a free program God gives us to - help us for the next fishing trip or tennis match...
He took my advice and learned that if he runs me just a little more than he use to he would have fun laughing at me while I bend over trying to catch my breath between points!!!!
