Ive been thinking (you can smell the smoke from there can't you) that I need to focus on the things I can change and let go of the crap that I can't. (sounds AA-ish, I am actually 7 and a half years sober.)

I'm not even going to talk about the "crap" I cant change right now and focus on what I CAN change.

**I am tired and unhealthy. I am, what I have recently found out, a "bad" vegetarian. I have been this way for about 3 years. I cut out meat but havent added any vegetables. So, my current mission is to eat more whole foods and cut out a bit of the junk. (I am not going to fool myself into thinking that I will give it ALL up comepletely.) I am also giving up soda. I was drinking about 4 cans of diet pepsi a day. Yikes! It's been 2 days, btw and Im craving a soda in the worst way! ;-)

**I want a gymkhana horse and a show horse and to do well at both next summer....well, I own 4 horses, I need to work on those 4 first before my personal goals of winning anything get met. I do believe those things will happen with 3 out of 4 of my horses eventually, I just need to take the time they need to get them there. It will be so much more meaningful in the long run, b/c I will have done it.

I want to be happy and healthy and my horses to be the same. We'll get there. My attitude and focus just needed a change.

This is Amigo after yesterday's ride. He was very very good. Its amazing how much they progress when you work them consistantly. (duh, I know!)
