I hope you had a fantastic day, enjoying more of the warmer weather and the brighter skies that lasted for about half the day. I know it helps me to keep a sunnier disposition, even when I sort of feel like I don't want to be happy at all.
I was finally able to make a physical therapy appointment for the first time in two weeks. It feels good to get the relief that going gives, but I am going to have to call my primary care physician tomorrow to see about setting up an MRI. My physical therapist believes there is a good chance that I may need surgery for what is going on in my neck. I am not looking forward too much to that, but if it brings relief, I am for it. If I do have to go for surgery, I certainly hope I have had a chance to see you before it. I know it is a minor surgery, but there are no guarantees in any such circumstances.
I got my certificate today for passing the Bits, Shoeing and Saddle Fit course. I was so pleased to see that, was a real sense of accomplishment! I finished all of the reading associated with lesson 6 in my Equine Massage course. Now I need to practice, practice, practice the techniques, so I can pass the quiz and turn in my assignments. Very excited about spending the day Saturday at the barn practicing.
I saw 25 Kia's today. For a minute, I really thought number 21 was you. It looked just like it and was coming out of the street you would turn on to go home and to come out of. I saw it when I was on my way to therapy. Even though it would have meant you had taken the day off, I looked closely, but it turned out not to be you. I had one interesting sign - a picture I had posted from high school quite some time ago had tags from a friend. The tags were for a classmate whose first name was Alexandra. I didn't know her well, and she didn't go by her first name back then, so I had no idea she had that name until today.
Have I ever told you that I love the way you would passionately argue some political point that I could have half cared less about? I know, that I should care more about some things that go on in the world, but I guess I live much of the time in the moment, wrapped up in my own little world and the worlds of those I care about. Not you though, you have a keen awareness of the larger world around you and are not afraid to speak your mind. Even if I disagreed with you on your stance, which was rare indeed, I loved to watch you rage against the machine. Your courage and passion in those moments inspired me to care more. I miss seeing you in those moments. I love you and wish I could ask you to marry me.
Loving you,
MNP
