Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds! A tribute to my horse, who inspires me! to LOVELIFE and enjoy every minute of it!

HELLLLLLO my friends!!! It's a beautiful Monday evening up here in September in Winter Park, CO. The leaves have started to change colors and it's breathtaking. It's been really nice lately so I've been able to go outside and ride the horses and play, but today I decided to take 'er easy and just watch Harry Potter videos all day long. It was AWESOME!!! You know what I realized today?! I'm pretty sure I have a crush on Ron Weisley... if I was 15 again whoo whoo!! Other than that, I've been up to no good. Dreaming about skiing and stomping new tricks (which I should have learned over the summer but didn't... crap!). However, I'm ready for the snow and to ski and jam to all my music!! I've come to realize... I LOVE THE MOUNTAINS and it's gonna be rough to leave this place. I want to use my degree and all... but I really just like living up here. I'm TORN. I believe I will figure it out though... I'm not gonna stress over it. The best part about Winter Park?!! Is my best friend Bjorn who I get to hang out with every day! He's the best thing that ever happened to me. Whenever I'm sad, he can put a smile on my face. Whenever I need a hug or a neckrub, he is always there. And he's always happy. And... the best part about him? He always forgives me even when I should not be forgiven (thank God for Bjorn!!). He understands me like no one else and he listens (most of the time... unless I try to have a heart to heart with him when the Rockies or Broncos are playing). I love him soooooooooooooooooooo much! Stoked for the winter to ski and live life the fullest... it's gonna be amazing!!! The people that come here for the winter make it even funner up here and I can't wait for them to be BACK! whew! It's only October yet I'm already acting like it's November. This is what happens when you finish school and you have too much time on your hands. Maybe I should read some more books! I've been working out! I'm actually gonna take this ski conditioning class and try to get in AWESOME shape so I can hit jumps and be stomping switch 5s and 900's consistently without falling apart!!  Thank you God for the beautiful trees and your love, grace, and generosity to us! We WILL ENJOY IT! Keep it real and enjoy life: be who you are and say what you need to say, because people who mind don't matter and people who matter don't mind. It's the truth! and LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! When in doubt?! Take a breath. Forgive. Realize what you have been forgiven for and be thankful for all that you have. and LOVE. I tell myself this everyday but want it to be HOW I really live. I want to live in love. It is hard for me to realize how short this life is and how we can't take anything for granted. But when I do realize this, I see that everything is a GIFT: people, music, animals, family, love, sex, friends, shoes, clothes, houses, sports, dreams, and LIFE!!! It's a gift that each person experiences individually and finds their own meaning for. Although in the end I believe that everyones' life, whether they like it or not, will have the meaning to fulfill God's great purpose (which may sound stupid but when you think about being a part of the ultimate war of good vs. evil and realizing that life is about LOVE and MERCY and JOY and PEACE you realize which side you are on!). It's amazing that this world will end one day and we will all live eternally somewhere. I bet the things to come will be a million times a million more amazing than anything this earth has to offer... it's hard for us to fathom this now because we are mortals. haha!!! I pray that God will help us all to live lives filled with mercy, humility, and love, because God knows that we can't do it on our own. KNOW THIS. God is love! LOVELIFE! Signing out now! 10:4- see you next time :)
