I borrowed my stepdaughters dog to help me activate myself and step out of the 'box' i hide myself in when feeling bad. She is a lovely ridgeback, absolutely impossible to feel down when she is around.

Today I feel well at ease. I have driven my daughter to riding camp, where she will stay for a week. I have had a late horseback ride through woods and countryside in the lovely and slow sunset.

This time of year the sunset takes about four to five hours in Sweden, and I just love sitting on the porch watching it with perhaps a cup of tea or, as today, a glass of wine at hand.

Now I have showered and just finished todays task at Tools. I think it is time for another glass of wine to go with the cheese and crackers.... yes, it is. My love just came home from a late job.

A good night to you all, and a wonderful weekend.

Love

Viktoria

I have been at Tools for some time now, and I just realized I have made it a habit to do my daily exercises... but only those that naturally fit in to my life!

I have to start printing out checklists again. I forget to smell the flowers. I forget to to tell my love and my daughter how wonderful they are. I forget to remind myself how wonderful I am.

I don't want my life to be anything less than extraordinary.  It is, and has been for some time, I just need to remind myself every so often to be greatful about it.

I am so happy I have my life, my love, my home and my job, but it is ever so easy to take it for granted.

I hope all of you working on Tools find out how wonderful life is. Because it is, even if not always obviously so.

Keep on keeping on. You are all doing great, just by doing Tools!

Love to you all from Viktoria, who will post more often from now on.

We an unexpected thunderstorm, very out of season. The lightning struck out our computer (among other things), and it is not until today I have had access to a computer with sound again. I have tried to do the tasks anyway, but I have missed listening to coach. 

Well now I'm back again and hope to get back in business :)

Since my daughter is ill, I took her riding class and brought my own horse.

He is a quite well educated jumper, much more so than myself and my daughter. I bought him about a year ago as a teacher for us.

Tonight they had a high jumping contest. Didn't know that before I went. I'm still a bit scared of hights...

Went well though. Jumped 1,10 meters, wich is my highest yet. He jumped well over what he had to, and since my balance leaves much to be desired I flew off him as he turned after the jump.

A bit sore now on the hip, but very proud. I decided I could  do it and I did!

Will do a bit more balance training until next time though ;)

Love and care to you all from Viktoria and her high flying Joyride

What music do you use to lighten your
mood?

It was so wonderful just to sit there with the sun on my back. The only sound being birds singing and a farmers tractor somwhere in the distance.

I felt truly happy and peaceful.

Today promise sun as well, but I think I will bring coffee to the stables instead, and share it with anyone who might wish to.

I'm having a great day!

Hugs!
