And today was one of the best. I am riding a high from talking to an old friend yesterday. An invitation to see people I have not seen for over a year arrived. I rode for a long time, the horse was good, and so was I. One of my dogs, who almost died last weekend, is home now, and back to his old self. And I have hit the delete button on my computer several times today, getting rid of things and people who are no longer a good thing (a process that needs to continue). I am taking action on both some short and long term goals, after finally figuring out a reasonable approach to accomplish them. I just hope this feeling hangs around for a bit. Or I could wake up tomorrow morning, and forget everything I thought of today.
Be in Peace, babies, because nothing else really matters.

Yin Yang Horse
This is Jaz. She is 4, and a most perfect little girl. I fell in love with her immediately, and bought her without ever getting on her back. She tests me, she tries my patience, she argues with me. And yet she forgives me when I am too hard on her bit, or I tighten the girth another notch. There is a special bond that can form between a woman and a horse. Luckily, I have two that give me that connection. Jaz is my source of balance when my world gets a little funky. My trainer, Miss Jennifer Juniper, says that I am her only student that sings and laughs out loud while riding. Hey, if that is my one claim to fame as an equestrian, I am more than happy to live with it.

Mask
My initial attempt at clay. Not sure I like it. It seems unfinished. Maybe I was afraid to do more to it. I couldn't even give this piece a name. One of my creative demons is the voice that tells me minimalism is better than over doing. I tend to stop before I am totally satisfied with a piece, afraid I will screw it up beyond salvage. This does not transfer over into my real life though. I am the one who always pushes the conversation, the conflict, the comments, too far. I wish I could be as restraintive with my words as I am with my art.
