Peru and more

Peru was AMAZING. Defenitely the best experience of my life. One of my roomies posted a slide show on youtube of our team, and it kind of gives a flavor of what we were doing ( a drama performance called "Toymaker and Son" and work projects) http://youtube.com/watch?v=eliKoGpnovg
The whole experience has made me really think hard about some things, including my involvement with horses and Sunny in particular. I was feeling so burnt out before I left, and a little bit now as I came home. I am now thinking that was due to me trying to make them the center of my life. That just won't work. Horses cannot be my reason for living. They are allowed to be a bright spot but that's it. I am very excited about my newly found direction and I think this is going to be one of the better things that I have done. I have also come to the conclusion that showing is unhealthy for me and causes me to focus more on winning ribbons than on my relationship with Sunny, so I am going to be taking a break from that. I'll keep in touch with how that goes...
