Dearest stranger,
( I'm glad you think so!)
It fills me with joy to know I could bring a smile to your face! And you are most welcome, I do hope my little spot serves you well. Nothing does the body better than a good nap, I agree.
I hear so often of the importance that is the connection between a horse and a rider. I'm often envious of that, I think it is so sweet to have such a friendship! It makes me wonder, you say you ride many horses but do you have a favorite?
Oh, nature rides sound lovely... I must admit I am less fond of plants than animals, but they're still so lovely. Flowers, especially! Back home, flowers have a hard time growing in the conditions, so I've always cherished them.
( I can't say I've seen an eagle or lion either, honestly. )
And please don't apologize for getting sad, I don't mind. It's touching to hear such a thing, honestly. I know we're strangers, but I love to learn things about others. It really tells you a lot about a person, knowing what they've been through. Like this; it tells me that you're very noble and caring. Those are two very admirable things!
My own siblings... it's a little complicated. I was raised with an older brother and two sisters, but I learned later that they aren't really my siblings. Which is okay, I think, because love and blood aren't equal. I do have 'real' siblings, too. Four of them-- two brothers and two sisters-- but I've never really gotten to know them.
Ah, now I'm the one getting sad!
For your final question... I think I've learned a lot here, and tried a lot of new things, but the most impressive of them all has been the people I've met. It's silly, I know, but I've always been like this. People are just so interesting, you can learn so much about the world just by seeing it through the eyes of someone else. I grew up alone mostly, with no idea what was out there beyond my home, but getting to meet so many people from so many places... it has been so lovely.
Anyway, how about you? I'm sure you have done plenty of cool things-- I'd love to hear about them!
