A Lesson in Perseverance

Do you ever have a stretch of bad luck?  Do you have times when you get knocked down, get back up only to get knocked down again?  How do you handle it? The important thing is you keep getting back up, you don't give up and you keep trying!  So my training after surgery had been going great and I was getting ready to go back to work in the field next week only to injure my leg.  The vet said I strained some ligaments in my wrist. BUMMER!  Another 3-6 weeks out.  My handler and I were pretty upset, it's normal to be frustrated I think.  Really we were left with two decisions, give up or get up.  Giving up is not an option so we will push through rehab and retraining. There is no need to complain about it as that would not accomplish anything. If we keep getting up, each time we get a little bit stronger, we learn a little bit more and eventually we move forward. George Washington lost many battles but won the Revolutionary War.  The Wright Brothers built many "planes" that didn't fly but eventually became the first to do it.  What will you do when you get knocked down?
