So what have you learned this season...

What have I learned this season? First and foremost I learned that the ladies on this forum are great. Their kind words of support during my summer of crisis helped tremendously.

2. I'm a lot stronger than I realized and in turn can handle a lot more than I realized. Bottom line I'm one tough and stubborn old lady.

3. I have been blessed with a wonderful family and a great circle of friends who have allowed me to lean on them a lot this year.

4. I've learned I still have a lot of room for improvement when it comes to my riding. I will have some good goals to strive for in 2008!

5. I can ride with the "big dogs" for a while before I get dropped!

6. I'm one lucky lady!

7. I'm a good person regardless of what the ex has to say or thinks.

8. I need to learn to cry more often and I need to be more assertive. I have to take care of me.

9. I love my new body and I feel great! I'll really have to work hard to maintain the new me.

10. Life is good.

Tough isn't it, to put it into words. We all want to immediately want to talk about what we have learned about training. Actually putting your finger on how "you " have changed is not as easy. You can feel it, but it is tough to articulate.

Good responses so far, very interesting.

Yeah. And, very often, there is a space of waiting between a season or a time, and when that season or time really yields the actual lesson. Can't rush that one ('though I believe there are things we can do to facilitate receiving the insight).
