I put this in my journal last night. thought i would share !

As I reflect on the first 49 years and 364 days.... What a bumpy and roller coaster ride it has been. I have had many ups and many downs. I don't wish to be younger I'm ok with my age, but my body could start feeling younger. (we all wish) I have a few more pounds on my body then i want, but I'm working on that!!
I have 3 amazing sons that i love more than anything and 2 grandsons that i love with all my being. I have not been the perfect mom, but i do love them more than anyone and i always try to improve daily! They all keep me going and the reason i fight to make this world a better place. I have some amazing friends that I'm proud to call my friends! i have lost several people i love and i miss them deeply. i have owned and road some amazing horses and to that few that have made me a better human and rider. To those that have made me grow thank you. I have worked very hard the last 36 years and would not change any of that. I almost died in 2019 (stupid blood clots) Im still here fighting the good fight. Only reason i’m still here is the big man is not done with me yet. that is the only reason!
For the next 50 .....
I hope not to work as hard, smile more, laugh more, and enjoy nature more. Im excited for the next chapter as i lay here not knowing what tomorrow holds…. I will continue to live my cowgirl life and fight for my community, county, state, country, and world like never before. I have never been scared of the word “NO” and I’m not starting now. I will keep riding my ponys until this body wont let me. I have traveled and seen some amazing beauty in this world and several places i still want to see, several things i still want to do, and two BIG things that i intend to achieve. Friends and family we still have many dinners to have and there are MANY adult beverages that need to be drank so beware. I will wake up each morning with a thankful heart. I promise to make the next 50 even better. Here’s to starting law school at 50 (lord what am i thinking) Friends we have some fun to be had! Are you ready??
I AM!!! LETS RIDE !!!
