Thankful for you!
If you're celebrating Thanksgiving today, just like me in Canada, I hope you're enjoying a delicious turkey feast with family and friends. It's a time for gratitude and reflection, and while our friends in the US have to wait a few more weeks for their Thanksgiving, the changing seasons offer us all an opportunity to look back and appreciate the journey we've been on.
Have you taken a moment to slow down and glance over your shoulder at the path you've traveled this past season? The view behind us can be as beautiful as the road ahead. What are you thankful for during this season of your life?
I want to share that I had what I initially considered one of the most challenging riding seasons in my career. In the midst of it, I struggled, and it wasn't something I'd typically express gratitude for. However, as I look back at the path that brought me to where I am now, I find several reasons to be thankful. Practicing gratitude has allowed me to move beyond those challenges and continue to grow.
I'm grateful for the unwavering support of my dear friend, Danni, and my incredible spouse, Lee. Their presence made navigating the difficult parts much more manageable, and I couldn't have done it without them.
I'm thankful for my clients, both the private ones and those who joined my daily classes. On days when it was tough for me to find motivation, being accountable to them encouraged me to show up, face challenges head-on (sometimes just showing up was the hardest part), and feel a sense of accomplishment that spilled over into other aspects of my life.
I'm thankful for my horses and my own physical fitness. When we had an accident on the trail, our level of fitness and strength played a significant role in minimizing injuries. We walked away relatively unscathed, which reinforced the value of the hard work I put into my fitness, especially when traditional measures like completions, ribbons, and mileage goals couldn't provide the same reassurance.
There are many more things I could list, but I'll let you enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner without keeping you too long. Instead, I'd like to ask you: What are you thankful for this year? What small victories can you celebrate, and what aspects of your life have you been consistent with that have rewarded you in unexpected ways?
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Warm regards,
Sarah
