Good on her for getting up, falling down and getting back up!<br /><br />P.S. Ozzland, I think the movie was "Better Off Dead"...one of my favorites!K.

Frequently something interesting is going on which then I stop and take a look. Such as today someone was on the building attempting to skate off it.Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05154512736475928555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314030690340539256.post-48905940940474047472011-07-12T16:56:17.003-06:002011-07-12T16:56:17.003-06:00How cool is this????

I think that even if we fall down, we still have to get back up! <br /><br />Funnily, one of my neighbours kids was on his skateboard yesterday teaching another young friend how to use it. And he said, 'if it gets too fast, you can always jump off'. Made me laugh, so true about a lot of things in life. ;-)Taleihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07317577935549931974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314030690340539256.post-31923984729465651112011-07-12T14:58:03.553-06:002011-07-12T14:58:03.553-06:00Ozzland-- Exactly!

No matter what you are talking about or doing unless the thing is most time spent watching TV or movies, then getting up and participating is the only thing that is going to help!! <br /><br />You can read all your life and be a great writer (in your head) but get and do it, sure there might be some failure but think of all the books you have read that sucked! And they still got published, I mean it may take some time but apparently anything is possible if you at least try. :POzzlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16761290905144070481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314030690340539256.post-39376317796478083312011-07-12T11:51:22.931-06:002011-07-12T11:51:22.931-06:00Millie-- Awesome!

I didn't write it specifically to writing just because it works for a million other things, too. Plus if I did, my post would've been a mile long. And I would've likely rambled. And no one likes a mile-long ramble.<br /><br />Kristine-- I loved her comment, too! I love that she doesn't expect to start off being perfect, and that it takes a lot of work to get even close.
