But a lot of life lessons were learned on those playgrounds. Namely-Cause and Effect…the biggest amoung them. You leap off a giant Rocket, you are likely to bust a body part. Now we pad their lives in so much fluff they think the world has no consequences. Best to learn it on the playground.

"A Lesson In Teeter Totter"

The real world hurts a heck of a lot more. I was just reading this quote see below before I came onto your site. How apt, I thought, to illustrate that we are all in the Drum together. The moment we cease to hold each other, the moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.

Dude, now I want crackerjacks. And I still have the Monday song in my head. You are a veryvery bad influence. Which is only part of why I love you. None of us can ride the teeter totter alone. When we think we can is when we fall the hardest. Teeter toter bread and water, wash my face in dirty water! My memories of the drive in back in the day were of us kids being able to go play on the playground until dark and the movie was just about to start..

Your last line Wendi — about not being able to ride the teeter-totter alone — so true! And wonderful comparisons you made in this post. I especially like the idea of falling off and getting back on the monkey bars — and seeing that as not failing. Too often, we try something, fail, and quit.

A Very Personal Pyramid. Too many things are being piled on my half and there is no way I can get it even a little balanced!! Nowadays, the kernels of popped corn are perfectly spherical and uniform in size, to within a tolerance of 0. The caramel candy coating is glazed on perfectly, to within a nanometer.

Cracker Jack still tastes good, but I like the older style, where it looked like human beings made it. Never Teeter Tottered — ever. Was the Queen of the Swing and always there instead. Did not do the monkey bars till a group of us in high school went to a playground and I did it for the first time. So no life lessons about teeter-tottering to report. Loved reading the other replies. Oh Wendi, this was beautiful. I felt like I was on that playground with you.

You also brought back wonderful memories. I loved going to the drive in with my parents.

I loved the cartoons at the beginning and the fun of laying in the back our station wagon with a blanket watching movies with my Mom and Dad. I am looking forward to your book with all these wonderful stories. I have loved every single one! I liked what you wrote here, and then I got a funny thought — because life is like the old time playgrounds — you can have a lot of fun, and you can also get hurt. Going to the drive-in movie is one thing I think kids of today are really missing out on.

What will they say… Monday at school? Wendi — how interesting to read your post and your views on the teeter-totter.

Dog Agility - Archie in his dog agility lessons, conquering the teeter totter

I wrote a post last week about the see-saw at the playground and my metaphor for life balance. I love reading different points of view! Hi Wendi — these are great comparisons and so true. Is a teeter totter the same as a seesaw, where one person sits on either end. He not only lost balance, he lost his health, nearly lost his family, lost perspective, and began to lose success. His lack of balance was destroying him. What will happen to Urban Meyer next?

That remains to be seen but two things we are guaranteed of: He will have to fight for balance to do so. So as you go about coaching, keep your teeter totter balanced and you will find success in more than one arena of life. You are commenting using your WordPress.
