Ride like the Wind

I know ive already blogged today but ive come home so happy i just had to tell you all about my evening.. it was amazing! my fella keeps telling me to shut up !

As many of you know me, you would know my dream is to ride up a beach on horseback, its silly to some people but to me its one of those ' has to be done moments' well tonight Claire gave me the best riding experience ive ever had...

There were only 3 of us tonight in the group plus Shona and Claire who work at the stables, so Kevin said we could go out hacking, ive never been hacking with my new group before but the hacks i have experienced have all been walk and trott only, well tonight i got such a surprise!

It was beautiful sunshine, so warm, there wasnt a drop of breeze so she took out into the fields , where i havent been before, as far as you could see was just fields and trees , its breathtakingly beautiful. So she stops us and says right one at a time "GO!"...... "trott, canter do what ever you feel like doing" its about enjoying being alive and my god didnt it feel great !..

Pip was so excited and just went for it, the stretch just went on and on, I have never rode that fast or felt that free in my life, i cant begin to say how it made me feel, I was screaming with happiness inside, the world didnt matter it was just the Pip and me...

When i got to the end Pip neighed loudly to his friends (who were all doing it back!) so we turned back and rode like hell to the other guys waiting.. it was pure magic........

I have always been the kind of girl that loves the woods or anywhere where i can feel that connection to nature and tonight was one of the best nights ive ever had... not simply just because of the riding, but because it gave me so much hope and excitement! Something happened so good that i didnt expect,which can happen through life if we believe it will and are prepared to go for it...

Nothing is impossible although sometimes we think and feel it is, but the best things in life are those things you dont expect ...

Ive had the most magical day all thanks to a field, some sunshine and one beautiful little horse called Pip..

My fellas off again tomorrow but i know where i'll go if i start to feel down... to that little spot in my thoughts that tonight has given me..

Its been an amazing journey today............................

Karaoke Night

Ive had a brilliant week this week, thanks to something special........my friends...

I had my girly night Tuesday so the fact i got out again last night is wonderful, especially after weeks of non stop work with no social life......

The days began to blend into the next and without having some release or fun it makes me really boring, i don't mind the hard work bit as long as i can have time for things that make me feel alive inside....and my friends do ...

We went to stay over at our their house again last night, this time my partner came too and both had such a brilliant time.. its not what we do or where we go, its being with them that makes me happy....

I'm not the best singer in the world to say the least lol , in fact im well known for how bad i really can sing, and singing on a karaoke is not something I'm comfortable with at all...lol

Somehow and I'm not sure how they've managed it, but they've got me singing my head off now .. i know vodka has something to do with my dutch courage part,and its always that starting me off bit, but i actually really enjoyed myself last night and got over a really big hurdle ... I'm so pleased..

Its a bit like knowing you're not so good at something you enjoy doing, it shouldn't stop you from doing it, but i really struggled with this and get nervous, so it always made me sound even worse...lol

So i owe these guys a big thank you... over the last few years they have helped me grow into a much more confident person that i thought i could be, simply because i feel stronger around them, its amazing how some people really can bring out the best in others, and I'm definitely gifted at one thing.......that im certain on today .....

with having such great people in my life............
