"It isn't what I do, but how I do it. It isn't what I say, but how I say it, and how I look when I do it and say it."
There are a lot of beautiful, talented and all-around Amazing ladies on my facebook. Every gal has their good days and not so good days, but these ladies are almost Always super positive(true I mostly only know their fb lives), but still it's nice to know that you're not the only one who occasionally has an emotional breakdown. Goal #1: Look at life through brighter eyes...
Besides being postive women, they're talented, goal orriented, independent, strong and beautiful inside and out. Goal #2: Exercise my talents, shoot for the moon and be an all around better person.
I haven't been very healthy in somewhere close to 2 years, however, things have gotten worse in the last year. The most frustrating part being that, we can't figure out Just what's wrong! After several studies, and many appointments, we've only come up with several small problems that 'may be' contributing to the major problem. Which is, a severe sleep disorder of some sort. I fall asleep a lot! Mostly in very inappropriate situations, sleep has become my biggest concern in life. Which is not at all normal. Due to a total lack of energy and drive, so much in my life has been put off and shoved to the back burner. This isn't how I want my life to be!!! Goal #3: Move forward with DR suggestions and find an Answer to my illness, becoming healthy Finally!
I currently have 3 horses. One amazing 'aged' mare, an unbroke 3 year old and a poorly trained 8 year old. I'm also in the middle of another horse deal, which is the purchase of a Totally Awesome 3 year old that's already loping the barrel pattern. EXCITED! With all of these horses, there is much to do. Thank goodness, my horses Always make me happy, and Always make life better! So thankful and blessed to own horses.
Goal #4: Keep all 4 horses legged up, break and train the 3 yr old, finish the 8 year old and get him over his fear of cows ;) b/c that just won't do. Also, keep my running mares in tip-top shape, sane and running.
Exercise. When I was going to school at OSU, I Loved working out. They had an Amazing gym!!! I spent a lot of time there, so did A LOT of others. The university gym at EOU, was not the same. Much smaller and not as well equipped. For those of you who know me, running, just isn't my thing. So as my need for sleep grew greater, my ability to workout began to fade away. When you workout, one, you feel energized during and immediately after your workout and two you continue to feel better and eat better. Don't think I need to go into details of what then progressed.
Goal #5: Exercise every day, but excessively three times a week. Strengthen core and correct my knees, develop upper body strength.
I have the soul of a gypsy. I grew up in a tiny community, far away from town. Caught the highschool bus at 6:30am and made the 1 hr trip to town for 4 years. Not counting all of the sports events, and FFA activities that also required extra trips to Y-town. But what I'm trying to say is, to go anywhere we've always had to Drive. From a very young age, I was accustomed to many hours in the car. I loved loading up in vans and heading to southern cali for FFA shows. When I graduated I had the choice of going anywhere for school. I orignally chose Shasta Comm College. But just before fair, I decided to change schools. So hurriedly I dropped classes, gave up my dorm and applied to BMCC in Pendleton, OR. Of course, I moved in time to attend the 2005 Pendleton Round-Up. One I won't soon forget. At 18, and 9 hours from home, I couldn't believe my little country eyes when I saw a cowboy on a grey horse Ride, yes I said ride into Crabby's Underground Bar. I looked with huge eyes at my poppa, who told me there's no way the bartender would let him stay. Sure enough about 5 minutes later, out he comes.. Only he hadn't been kicked out. His horse had to poop! Whcih he did on the sidewalk and back downstairs he went. Later that night, we saw him leading his horse back to the trailer, with a very inebriated gal in the saddle. Since that first term in Pendleton, I have moved every 3 months. With the exception of my year in La Grande, and of course here, now. I moved here and there, then across states, then to other states. I hate the actual Act of moving, but love it when I get there!!! I get bored, and restless if I stay anywhere too long. Same with work. I've been back in our little corner of everywhere for 9 months, and have held the same job for 6! Some may say I'm growing up, me, my soul is crying for a new view of the sky.
Goal #6: Visit friends, travel the rodeo road, and sate my need for moving.
I've been attending inquiry classes at the Catholic church. Over the years, I've felt the need to find religion. I attended church as a child (non-denominational), but was never baptized. Many people questioned my decision, but it's my decision, one I'm very comfrotable with, and one I'm happy I made.
Goal #7: Be baptized Catholic and take my first communion.
For only 7 goals, this was a pretty long post. So thanks for staying with me ;) I'll probably add a few more goals as the year progresses, but this is a pretty good start. So See ya Later 2011, and Hello 2012
