Scientific measurements certainly have their place, and they have been encouraging markers when actual progress has been imperceptible to me. But the real differences have been lifestyle ones that, when I think back, have been quite radical.
It’s time to celebrate!
On Tuesday, 30th September, 2008, I start a new job.
This is really exciting for me as it’s a significant career move, in terms of both career advancement and finances, so naturally I’m pretty excited about it.
Horses are wonderful creatures.
I cannot describe how I feel with my horses. It’s like everything of any importance in my life is here, right now, with them. Obviously that’s not strictly true, but that sense is undeniably there. Horses have no agendas (though they can be cunning and sneaky at times!) insofar as they are what they are, and see you as you are. All the posturing and pretense that you might display to the world, trying to get others to see you as you want to be seen, means nothing to them. They couldn’t give a hoot about image. They see you as you are, not as you want to be. They see you.
Do you ever get a tune that goes round and round in your head till it drives you mad, but you can’t escape it? I frequently do. Today the tune is Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah and it’s rather annoying.
(Not, however, as annoying as Bananas in Pyjamas which is another not-infrequent uninvited guest.)
Since I was a child and first heard “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” I have always associated the song and tune with carefree days and happiness. Today I am not carefree (who is, honestly?) but my cares and concerns are manageable so of course I’m happy.
May today facilitate healing and be a turning point for our nation.
I’m sorry.
My name is Vicki and — if I'm in the mood — I answer to that. ;-)
I created this blog as a self-indulgent exercise in "It's all about me". You can read more about me here.
