When You Fall Get Back Up!

{from my blog at SparkPeople}

While playing tennis yesterday I took a tumble and got some nasty scrapes in the process. Hubby wanted us to stop playing and go home to tend the wounds. But I didn’t want to lose out on my calorie-burning opportunity, and though I was in some pain I wasn’t mortally wounded. I dabbed the scrapes with a towel and some water, and we kept playing. Then we went home and took care of my boo-boo’s.

I was proud of myself for sticking in there. Sometimes when we fall we’re afraid to get back up–thinking we’ll fall again. But self-confidence and pride are the rewards you’ll gain for getting back up, sticking with it, and not allowing one fall to keep you down.

You always have the power to get back up!!
