Thankful

I am thankful for you.....

Because if you are reading this blog, you mean something to me.

I am with my family this weekend. The kids are playing together and Robin (my sister) is obsessively taking photos (thank god since I am not as good at it).

I won't write too much, as I am in a "artsy" mood.

Thats what Kim calls it, Hunters mom.

She says whenever she reads a blog that is detailed, or personal, or just odd on some level, that is what she thinks...."oh Mary is in an artsy mood".

I am thankful for Kim.

I am thankful for everyone who stood by me in the last..................however long you stood by me.

I am experiencing my bi-yearly wanderlust, and fortunately for me and Mags, we can go visit my best friend Joce in California.

I am beyond excited for this trip.

This will be my third trip to Ca.

My first one was a bust due to my own poor atitude while I was going through a less then intolerable phase in life.

My second trip was a brilliant blur filled with amazing friends and a wedding, but way too short of a trip.

This trip will be good.

I am going to EXPLORE!

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for you.

I am thankful for me, that I have made it to where I am now.

I am thankful for happiness.

I am accepting of my restless nature, which is the fuel and the outlet that will get me to places like Rolex.

I am thankful for Yoga, acupuncture, and all things healthy that give me a quiet mind.

I am thankful for growing up.

I am thankful for the most amazing students a person could possibly ask for.

I am thankful for the most amazing farm owners I could ever hope for.

I am thankful for a husband that accepts me 100% for who I am, who I was, and who I will be.

I am thankful for the most amazing Majella Elizabeth Macklin on the planet (who just got super cool new shoes from Aunty Robin).

I am thankful for more stuff and people then I could ever list.

I also would like to promise to all of you, I will continue to try my hardest.

I will try my hardest to be the best person I can be for you.

Because if you are reading this blog, you deserve nothing less then that.

Now because this post was so serious,

Kari with Kaliente 1 (11/22 Stephen Bradley Clinic)

Watch Kari learn, and teach Kaliente.

I am in the background obsessively patting my horse like a weirdo.

Mary with Callie 2 (11/22 Stephen Bradley Clinic)

Summer and Mary!

I can't believe she is only 3!

What a blast all three mares were.

Kari looked AWESOME on Kaliente!

I am stalking Margret for the video she was kind enough to take as we speak.

A big thanks to Margret and Mythic Landing Events for all her amazing clinics!!!!

A big thank you to "A Bit Better" farm for their awesome facilities, and letting us use it!

It was so great to ride with Kelley again! Bomber and Kelley looked great!

I suppose Kelley fits into that Bad A$$ category I always talk about. (For those of you that don't know, she just healed from a broken neck.....but looks amazing!)

Callie has changed so much. Stephen kept saying my little girl was growing up! It is so true and what a great feeling.

I had great company with Sharon and Kari. A great day all around.
