This post is all about me, that's right. I think I need a reality check. Life is racing before my eyes and is taking me to very high speeds. I think I'm pretty overworked, overtired, overly worried, concerned, and the list can go on and on. I'm not complaining, rather trying to take an inventory and see how I can ease things up for myself, how I can de-stress, relax, and enjoy more of the positives and the blessings I am given. So here are they are:
I am healthy as a horse (but still fighting to lose that stubborn fat,)
I have the best husband in the world, and the most wonderful daughter too,
I have a great job that although challenging at times is also rewarding,
I have a reliable car to drive (my little beaten up '04 Honda Accord but still running),
I have great weather pretty much year-round where I never have to worry about snow and freezing temperatures (two of the things that I absolutely dread),
I have great parents and great in-laws, who although far away they never fail to make me feel their love, support, and prayers,
I have a beautiful cozy home that I fall in love with more and more every day in how perfect is for us and our needs,
I take opportunities to learn and improve professionally and personally,
I have...
I do...
I am....
But I truly think that the best and most important blessing I claim is the fact that I have a Father up there who loves me despite all of my fears, concerns, shortcomings, and sins.
He was aware of me today when I had to take an hour and a half walk (mind you on a beautiful but of so hot sunny day) around my lovely neighborhood near the Elementary school, while I was waiting for road assistance to get me back into my car after I had locked myself out.... I was running late after a long meeting and the scramble to prepare a hot lunch for Ella. So late that I grabbed the lunch bag and my wallet (and luckily, my phone too) but dropped my car keys in my purse which I then nonchalantly left on the passenger seat. Duh!
He was aware of me the rest of the day which by far was the worst I've had in a while. But it's almost over and I think it's safe to say that it won't get worse from here on as I am going to bed soon.
As for all my worries (big and small), I have to remember to take them to Him more often and find the comfort and peace that I need now.
She continues to be extremely funny and humorous and I love that she makes me laugh (you know, I'm a overly serious person by nature and I need that so badly!)
She loves him as a teammate because he is so willing and well behaved (well, except for the time he nibbled and bit her little shoulder!! :))
A few days back, Heather got on Ben also known as Dream Castle (her 21 year old all winning pony) and they rode along side. It was a treat as she got to watch proper technique first hand and got the courage to canter. It was a beautiful thing to watch.
These two got to be in the news again, this time featured in the Horseback magazine, in the October issue:

Here she is after rigging Remi.
The red shoes girls! :)

I am so proud of my baby for working so hard at school and getting adjusted to 2nd grade requirements and the fact that she gets tested every single day. For the most part, she's doing well, had some hick-ups but she's getting better. I think it's a little harsh that they only get tested on what they are taught that day in class and there is no concept of "preparation prior to." In a way it's good because that means they have to pay attention and be alert all the time as all is instructional time, but it's a little hard on them for having to be ON 100% of the time.

She's doing good with her preparation for the ABRSM exams. Theory has been hard but she's catching up quick and now likes solving the problems just like math.
Horses and riding are her life though. She has overcome her recent fears and is now cantering on Remi which is quite a big deal, as that boy is a power pack.
