Tryon Boot Camp: Day 5 (The last!)

Third time's a charm when it comes to alternators, I guess. Stott's Ford in Tryon had my big red truck fixed up by late morning, so I had time to take Esprit back to FENCE for one last conditioning workout just to make sure he was good and exhausted before we headed home.

Being home is good, but being away from home for a few days was exactly what I needed. It was helpful to pare things down to the bare essentials--fiance, horse, laptop--and rebuild outward from there. I always feel like I'm being pulled in about a dozen directions at once that are all demanding 100% percent of my attention, and since there's not 1,200% of me to go around, I end up feeling stressed or disappointed in myself for not being able to invest fully in every endevour. So, that's about to change. I've let some things go, and pulled the important stuff back up to the top of the heap. I officially feel much more ready to tackle this spring on multiple levels, so bring it ON.
