Identify things that make me happy

Went on my first cruise ever last week and had a great time. No responsabilities, no worries about getting to certain places. Good looking men picking up on me. Yep, I like Cruising!

The whole point of giving lessons is to give kids the chance to learn some of the things I’ve learned. There are kids I hate giving lessons to and I wonder why I waste my time. There are kids like Olivia and Baliegh that are great! They want to learn. They listen. They practice. They try. They make it all worth it.

Spent the afternoon with the family at Fun Spot and Old Town yesterday. We had so much fun. Enjoying the rides and each other’s company. We did one of those old time photo shoots. We were saloon girls and gunmen. The guys looked great! lol Fun to enjoy each other like this.

My sister and nephew are in town. Yesterday was my nephew’s birthday and we played paintball. We had a great time. The comfortable comraderie is something that is enjoyable. You can be yourself and they can be them. We enjoy each other in our family and do a lot of stuff together.

Specifically on Patti. I know I know. I already did Patti, but we did poles last night for the first time in months. What a thrill, and I’ll feed off of it for months. That is quite the thrill, having a horse like her who just moves naturally off my leg and can snake through those poles. There is nothing like it. I’ll likely never have another horse who feels the same.

There will never be another Patti. We have been through so much together and I don’t think I’ll ever have as much saddle time on another horse as I have into Patti. Besides the riding, she has been my best friend. She has moved all over this country with me more times than I can count. Just being able to lay my hand or my head on her makes me feel better. I love this horse.
