| He looks so cute but ! |
Good health is such a fragile, precious gift. Not realising
that is completely understandable and in some ways a period of grace exists
until bang, wallop, splat. You meet your first demon, which is to shake the
innocent ignorance that stops you taking health for granted.
It may be your own first encounter with poor health, for me
it was watching loved ones battle illness which burst my bubble of blissful
ignorance. Well before, I myself experienced my own small disturbance to good
health. So now I am in that worldly position of appreciating the delicate
balance of life.

| It just keeps raining but we must ignore it |
The weather is affecting most of us one way or another and
those who tread the thin line between equilibrium and blackness can be
devastated simply by endless grey days. Riding is no longer just fun for me not
only does it lift my spirits it I am convinced it keeps me well and on an even
keel.
My ride was cancelled on Friday the rain was, well, just too
wet and the wind too gusty, it just makes sense not to risk it on these
occasions. I felt gutted but there is so many unpredictable things that can
happen with wind, horses trees slippy mud etc its not worth it. Sense has to
prevail.

| I ride in all weathers, just get my camera out when its sunny |
But I am not a fair weather rider no way.I am happy riding, and I could just put a full stop there.
Because I am happy come rain or shine. love it for itself, what I need to do is
somehow bottle the benefits I get from riding which tends to enhance my well
being for quite some time afterwards and be able to dip into it when I can’t
ride.
Until then I will keep riding, trying to stay ahead of that
pesky black dog and hope anyone in the same boat can do the same.
