(Out at the stable) I managed to take a few breaks from writing this weekend. I rode Luke with a few other riding friends in the indoor arena. The previous ride I’d had on Luke a week ago was terrible. Totally my fault. I had this idea that riding to music would help me work…
Moving in little baby steps of separation, thinking that will ease the pain. Instead, each minor step brings another stabbing jolt. Ouch! The latest step was to open my own checking account. Woo… hoo… I’m trying to distance, trying to stop thinking in terms of “us”. It’s working so well for me, don’t you…
It’s beginning to look a lot like fall. Leaves are starting to yellow slightly. Maple leaves are starting to redden. Poison Sumac sure is pretty at this time of year.
