Good Vibes Only




+ I don't know what it is but every time I put my feet in a pair of stirrups I feel pleasantly at peace with life. It's like as soon as you get up in the saddle the horse beneath you becomes an extension of yourself. The way you move, it will move. The way you feel - be it happy, confident, scared, it will reflect those emotions in its own behavior. They act as mirrors, showing us our rawest selves. It's pretty cool. Go ride a horse if you haven't, please.

+ One man's trash is another man's treasure. A few ladies at work and myself picked out some clothes out of our closets that were still cute, but we were just tired of wearing them, and swapped them with each other! It was so great to get rid of some old clothes and get some 'new' ones. I think we are going to make it a tradition and do it once each season. I shall never deny an opportunity to get free clothes.

+ I got to pick up my best friend from the airport today after a year and a half of absence and it was so wonderful! More to come in a later post. She is alive and well, and it's great to have her back.

+ I completed my last long run (11 miles, ah.) before my half marathon next week! It feels so nice to have finally finished my training plan. Although admittedly I was not religious at sticking to all of the cross training fluff I had included on it, I did get the running done, so I suppose that's alright.

+ Disneyland, Disneyland, Disneyland! 5 more days, people! I am becoming a crazy woman pinning 828458 things on Pinterest pertaining to anything Disney, and also listening to the Disney station on Pandora all day, every day. It's healthy right? Pretty much I am just excited to go relax and not stress about work and life for a bit, and I'm not only excited for Disneyland believe it or not. I am also looking forward to going down the beach as well. Maybe drinking one of those umbrella drinks and taking my sandals off for a walk in the sand. Yeeeeeay!
