Random Homework avoiding thoughts:)

Rodeo is a constant sport of ups and downs.  One thing that every rodeo competitor knows is that there is no way that you can win them all.  There are so many elements that control the winner and the loser.  The key to rodeo is not letting those elements effect you as you compete.  Rodeo is a sport that is 90 percent mental.  If you say that you can't do it, your right you won't be able to until you can fix your mental attitude.

I started writing this post about half way through the season.  I have a lot to work on.  It is the off season for me and I need to start rallying.  If I want to be the next champion, I have a long ways to go.  In ways I do not.  I am strong and independent.  I have been a champion in the past and the only thing standing between a championship buckle and me is myself.  I forgot how to have fun doing what I love.  I sent my horses home for a break the weekend after rodeo season was over.  I am already craving it.  I need to get back into shape and get to thinking about this spring.  I need to start thinking about being the person that people talk about in a good way.  I want them to say "Damn she deserves that."  I want people to respect me but at the same time, I need to go back to just having fun and enjoying something that has brought me so much happiness, instead of letting it ruin my whole day.
I honestly think that each and everyone of us needs to start surrounding ourselves with people and things that make us happy.  Music, movies, friends, and just in general activities.  The only person that can make you happy is yourself.  You have to choose to be happy.  I read this thing about being thankful for the little things, they add up to big things.  Today I am thankful for wild rags, toasted bagels, and window scrapers!
Until next time be blessed:)
