fears
I think that lately, after not feeling so great for a while, I have decided to overcome a lot of my fears. Like last night, yoga was my challenge, the night before that, reading in front of a group of people, and tonight, my first horseback riding lesson. Horses are kind of scary. seriously.
In the ring the first time I started walking on the horse it was great. Then I had to take it to a trot... and then a jog... that was harder. At one point I thought I was going to fall off, like my foot came out of the styrrup and I was like "whoa!" pulling on the reigns. It was crazy. But the instructor is a hard man, and he's a good teacher. By the end of the lesson I felt slightly more confident, but there were moments when I said "i'm scared, I don't like this" For now, I'm just hoping and praying that I can get more confident on the big hairy beast. This is something I've wanted to do for a long time. I don't want to let my fears scare me away.
