My daughter sent me a picture today.  The picture reflected my current changes in life, and one of the things I want to do....  

...and she's right.  It's never too late!  One of these days I will have my motorcycle (not a chopped one, either, nor ape hangers! lol), but until then... 

Today, with a different set of horse power under me, I rode a beautiful mare who was so incredibly patient with my nerves, inexperience, and lack of knowledge.  I never thought I'd EVER get on another horse again, yet I made it one of my goals to achieve this year.  I've not only achieved riding (thank you, Sue!!) today, but am going to be riding for the next several weeks to get a good hold on it.  I had a tremendous fear (no thanks to poor teachers and not so great horses) of riding, yet today I was 'one' with the horse and the time went by quickly. 

I'm so glad the Lord drug me out of my "bubble"!!  In five months my life has changed so dramatically that it would make anyone's head spin.  Nothing horrible, mind you, just, well, dramatic.  Different clothes, different size (weight loss), different lifestyle (to some degree), different job (not a sahm anymore), and for the first time in too many years, I have goals.  The horse riding was one, a motorcycle is another..... and then there is the skydiving.... but we'll save that one for later ;)

One of the saddest things I realized a few months ago was I had no goal, no future, nothing I could look forward to, except the mundane same ol same ol.  So glad those days are over.  Oh yeah, going shopping alone tomorrow, a repeated goal that brings me big smiles!

Grab a goal.  Go after it.  Don't forget to smile big ;)
