Nature’s Lace

There is sometimes beauty in the places one least expects is. Today’s photo was one of those moments. It is the beginning of gymnastic’s season, a new level for my gymnast who has suddenly sprouted up several inches. Suddenly things aren’t quite as easy for her and she is struggling with her self confidence. She has the skills, I have seen her accomplish them. But when push comes to shove, there has been a hesitancy that I haven’t seen before.

31/365 Nature's Lace

I found that I needed to get out of the gym for a bit this afternoon. As I was walking around, feeling the frustration of a parent who sees the full potential of her child, yet not wanting to be one of those uber parents who pushes their child to the point where they whole plan backfires.

I guess it is a fine line. I just haven’t figured out how to manage it.
