" Fall seven times, stand up eight... - Japanese Proverb..?



We went paddle boarding the other day with our friends Pierre & Cari Coetzee.
This stuff is harder than it looks... Pierre is a pro and i'm not even joking. While i'm falling this way and that, he's still dry as paper on top of his board. It's frustrating at times... but he's been a fantastic teacher.
While we were out I noticed this older lady with her paddle board... I did stare... but not because of how she looked, what she was saying...whatever. I stared b/c I was in a little disbelief that this older woman was fully whooping me at this sport. After I realized she was probably like 40 years older than me easily... I got back on my paddle board, and soldiered on once more.
Still a working progress... getting there, slow turtle style... but still better than before. I think of this lady. It helps.
Lukas on the other hand... was still a little intimidated. Arielle helped with that.
