[RC] Peace and Thanksgiving - tamara medeirosHi Julie, Loved your post, Here is a poem for you: I hope you never lose your sense of wonder You get your fill to eat But always keep that hunger May you never take one singel breath for granted I hope you still feel small When you stand beside the ocean Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens Promise me you'll give fate a fighting chance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance I hope you dance I hope you dance I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance Never settle for the path of least resistance\ Living might mean taking chances But they're worth taking Lovin' might be a mistake But it's worth making Don't let some hell bent heart Leave you

Maybe it is time we talked about personal rewards that are a little less transitory. The best ride of my life was a ride I did not complete. Why? Because on that one occasion I knew I rode my horse better than I had ever ridden a horse before. It was thirty years ago. I have never duplicated it. On only two occasions in 40 years of endurance riding have I felt totally in harmony with a horse---they were brief, but memorable. I was alone both times. And I soared. Believe me, I would trade every award I have ever won before I would give up even one of the memories of those three events. So maybe we, as riders, should change our perspective a bit and quit worrying about who got the best tee shirt. Regardless of the distance ridden, our sport offers far greater rewards. Julie
