Turning it Around - and a bit about Bikes and Comments

Hi lovely WA friends

My boys fell off their bikes yesterday, both at the same time and it looked bad.

There was a lot of blood and tears and just me and them. We were a long way from help.

It was horrible for them and pretty scary for me trying hold it all together.

This story taught me something about turning it around here at WA.

Three separate groups of people eventually helped us back to our car and we made it home and treated ourselves to an afternoon of treats and cuddles.
We turned it around
At the back of my mind, had been Lisa's post about losing her job and finding the silver lining.

Our exciting morning of bike riding had been ruined but there had to be a way to turn it around. Now my boys see the time that they fell off their bikes as the time we had treats and a cuddly afternoon together.

When I finally got back to my computer, I saw a lovely comment from a WA member through comment requests on a post I'd written the day before about my on off journey with WA, rightly suggesting that I'd learnt many lessons along the way. Thank you for your comment :)

I replied to the comment with tips about what I'd learnt and felt great about the lessons I'd learnt along the way (see also commenting with intent). I'd turned it around.

With a positive attitude and a little help from others, we can always turn things around, get back on our bikes and keep going.

Have a wonderful day everyone,
