I have six months to figure it out: how to celebrate my 5oth birthday. I'm looking for something special, perhaps momentous, maybe very adventurous. Any suggestions?
In the next six months, I WILL do something I'd planned to do on my 4oth, learn to ride a horse. I had been frightened as a child, and was never really a horsey girl. Ten years ago I asked my friend Sara, if she'd go with me for my first ride. Sara is calm and solid and definitely knows horses--the perfect steadying influence. She agreed, but I put it off and then eventually forgot about it.
So while I ponder my 5oth, I'll finally fulfill an old resolution. I really don't think I'll be afraid this time out. Good thing I feel at least 10 years younger than I did 10 years ago, when I was feeling quite old indeed. I'm not afraid of much these days.
