You have a passion for things in life that I am seeking. Music, sports, "kick ass sobriety"--joie de vivre. Thanks again for being an inspiration!
I should say I was a horse woman. I mean, I could still pick it up again at any time, but yeah... Unfortunately I made choices long ago before I had
any sense at all that led me away from that life. And now, I could hardly afford horses. If I could find a way to lease or be around them again... boy, I have so many other things on my plate I'm doing... it's a toughy.
I rode a friends feisty Morgan a few years back, and my freind said she couldn't tell at all that I'd spent any time away from riding, so yeah, that was a nice ego boost. I used to have to spend hours working on my seat and legs. Walk, trot, and canter with no stirrups, and even harder, all of the former in 2 point hunt position.
Anyway, yeah--I am definitely looking to capture something with my life, what ever that may be.
I'm not a person who wants to stay on the surface of things. I'm trying to capture something here that's somewhat undefinable, I guess. Or at least, personal.
I want to take a big breath, dive deep through murky waters, and come back up coughing and sputtering with a giant pearl in my hands.
