Re:Ice Cream

["Cathy Adair" <cadair@prodigy.net>]

Of course my digest never arrives in order so I am usually trying to figure
out what people are referring to (like I don't do that in REAL life as
well, but never mind) so this ice cream thing threw me for a bit then the
more I thought about it, the more I liked it.

Okay, I came into endurance when 25s were - well, you old-timers know - and
was encouraged to leaped into 50s before I really comprehended all the
nuances... Humbled, I went back to 25s and learned. I was determined to get
that first 250 chevron when I moved back to 50s. That was then.

Here now is long time later and I play in the 50s, I play in the 25s, even
the same month! Even on the same horse! And it's fun. I don't care if I
ever reach my 1000 mile endurance award and I don't care if I ever reach my
1000 mile limited distance award. That's not the point. Remember the
phrase: "The ride is the prize"? It is not the 25 is the prize or the 100
or the mulitday or the you get it - it's the ride!

Hey you guys, appreciate each other! It's a cold world out there - no one
else understands what we do and infighting isn't going to keep us from
doing what we do, it's just going to make us all cranky when we meet. Let's
not do that.
Remember, it may be strawberry, vanilla and chocolate to us but it's just
frozen milk to the outside world!
