The Payoff

The payoff is like that feeling of sweet success after months and months of hard work.  The payoff is what you get when you set a goal, make a plan on how to achieve that goal and then stay on task to reach that goal.

I think in my lifetime I have had many different goals and have succeeded in reaching some of them.  It is strange that I cannot think of those in the past but of the most current successes.  It seems that the accomplishments that mean the most are the one that were the hardest to attain.  If it were easy then we probably would take it for granted.

For months now I have been dedicated to Pippin's performance in the ring. His start line, his bar knocking, his contacts.  The start line could be better, the bar knocking can be fixed and the contacts are a must have if we want to go anywhere and be successful. 

So we planned, we worked hard every night, we found expert help and we received the big payoff!!  The contact performance was phenomenal, the start line was good and the bars stayed up!  What a feeling. Did we qualify? No we did not but it wasn't because of bars or contacts.  Pip slid right off the table.

Next goal............table work!!!
