### **[This Little Piggy](http://buildingthegrove.blogspot.com/2012/12/this-little-piggy.html?ref=myvirtualeventingcoach.com)**
  
  
This little piggy went to market.  
This little piggy stayed home.  
This little piggy was all jacked up and had to have surgery which leaves me in the Frankenboot for 4 lousy weeks and now I’m mad at the world.  
This little piggy cried wah wah wah all the way home.

| One of these things is not like the other . . . Actually, several things are broken but we'll start with the toes.                                                                                                                |
  
  
Day one I was already bored. Day three and I’m gouging my eyes out with a dull spork. I know it could be worse and I know there are people with much bigger woes out there than me (especially in CT), so I’m dishing out a big helping of Suck It Up and use this time to reflect on the change I wish to become:  
  
  
#1 – Let go of the stupid left rein. Period.  
Just *one more pull* is not going to fix anything.  
  
  
#2 – More seat, more seat, more seat. Less hand, less hand, less hand.  
  
  
#3 – Patience, grasshopper. Change takes time.  
*The lotus must start from the seed and take the sun and moon each in turn while looking to the sky for delicate drops of nature’s tears . . .*  
  
  
blah blah blah  
  
#4 – Oh yeah, stop looking at anything larger than 3’7” like its only purpose in life is to squash me like a gnat. Seriously, that’s, like, a warm-up fence for the jumper people and most horses can do it from a trot.
