| I talked to my sister today.
She's going through some kinda crazy stuff for a 9 year old this
week. Say a prayer if you guys get a chance. I miss her...
How to Really Love a Child
Be
there. Say yes as often as possible. Let them bang on pots
and pans. If they're crabby, but them in water to play. If
they're unlovable, love yourself. Realize how important it is to
be a child. Go to a movie theater in your pajamas. Read
books out loud with joy. Invent pleasures together.
Remember how really small they are. Giggle a lot. Suprise
them. Say no when necessary. Teach feelings. Heal your own
inside child. Learn about parenting. Hug trees
together. Make loving safe. Bake a cake and eat it with no
hands. Go find elephants and kiss them. Plan to build a
rocketship. Imagine yourself magic. Make lots of forts with
blankets. Let your angel fly. Reveal your own dreams.
Search out the positive. Keep the gleam in your eye. Mail
letters to God. Encourage silly. Plant licorice in your
garden. Open up. Stop yelling. Express your love. A
lot. Speak kindly. Paint their tennis shoes. Handle
with caring. Be there.

| boooo for fracturing clavicals...is that how you spell the real name
for collar bone? i think so...but anyway, this wont be long
because it takes a long time to type now. :(
I have one word for Miss Martini...ALPO...
not really, it's not totally her fault...
but seriously, who designed these collar bone brace things? They
obviously know that when you injure that particular part of your body,
it severly hinders your range of motion. And then what do they go
do? Make it buckle in the back. Yeah...genious...
Anyway...worst news ever...definately no riding for two weeks, and
possibly little to no riding for 6-8 weeks after that :( :( :(
But!!!! Next week is spring break AND jess will be home that same
week. I don't know how sign language is going to go anymore, but
at least my mind will be off not riding!
Thanks for all the caring from you guys that I've gotten already...you
guys make me smile. Any donations of pain relievers will be
greatly appreciated. Or at least anything to make me laugh :)
Sorry no cool pictures this time!!

| Yep, it's been awhile. sorry kids.
I was thinking about how far I've come in the past year. I've
always thought myself to be somewhat independent and have a fairly
decent head on my shoulders. I let myself down pretty damn bad in
the past, but it's so nice to see where I've been and where I've come
from. And then to look at how much progress I've made. Both
inside and out. I am genuinely happy. For me. Because of
me. I've learned a lot about myself. Somethings that I
thought I already knew. I know I've let the people that mean the
absolute most to me down, probably more than once. But I think
that's what makes us even closer... The fact that we can accept
eachother for who we are, not for who we want eachother to be. I
have people in my life now that I can call no matter what time it
is. I know that they know they can call me anytime (even if I
have to get up earlier than I thought existed ;) People change,
you've got to accept that. It's amazing to know that whatever the
circumstance, whatever mistakes are made, whatever bridges are burned,
the people that mean most to me in my life will ALWAYS be there for
me. I think we've proven that in the past year, and it could not
make me happier to have a person there for me unconditionally, to be
stronger than I am when I need some help. I KNOW it's a huge
thing for me to admit that I need help every once in awhile and it
makes it just that much easier to have a voice of reason to lean
on.
Adam especially has been more of a help than he could ever
imagine. I'm sure a lot of you don't even know what's been going
on in my life for the past yearish or so, but that's okay. You've
helped me out too without even knowing. Just laying there
sometimes, I find myself so thankful for everything that has and hasn't
happened to me. I can't believe I have Adam, so many people who
care so much about me, and so many people I care so much about.
So thanks guys, it's definately been a year of some ups and downs. but
do I regret it. Not for a single second. I'm still smiling
today, I never stopped smiling, I'm holding my head high and I know
without a doubt that I am stronger than anything that could ever happen
to me.
It's almost a new month. Last year, it was the beginning of this
month that I decided I was going to try to improve myself, find a whole
new 'Megan.' This year, I don't need to do that. I don't
need a new Megan. I really kinda like this one.

| How about a better, happier picture?
yeah, that's Martini jumping like a superstar after she got her ass
kicked. That's also before she decided to rear while I was on her
and fall on me. I'm mad at her right now. But that's still
a superstar picture.
