That blurry bit there is in fact a picture of me horseback riding. It was taken by one of our pastors, Cheryl (from horseback) at end point of our outing on Sunday, when I was getting rather tired, and the horse knew it. This is of course not too different from the beginning if the ride, when the horse knew I hadn't been glued to a saddle for about 10 years. I actually did have some collected moments in between the beginning and end...Our pastors Cheryl & Tristan and their daughters all ride, which is a wonderful discovery, and they are willing to share the enjoyment with others. I had great time, and rediscovered my various leg muscles during the course of the next day or so.
Some people are really fortunate. They go through the day, very collected and organised, from beginning to end. Others of us collect ourselves in between the start and end of the day: planning, organising, leaving the planner in the drawer, forgetting the grocery list, coming home with interesting things in our shopping bags, and then forgetting what recipe we were going to use them in. This can lead to spontaneous behaviour, resulting in combustible dinners or gourmet meals. On the other hand, it's a good idea to have the collected folks around, because that can lead to dusty boots on a Sunday afternoon.
