Life's stages

I remember when I was in college, the world seemed so open. I realized even then that I had a lot of choices.

Now that MY children are in, or finished with, college, I am beginning to see things a little different for myself. I feel like I am in the end game. But here is the weird part ~ I'm not. I am in my early 50s. With a life expectancy of 80+ years, I have a good thirty years to go at least.

I am however at a crossroad. With our last sweetie looking at colleges, my DH enmeshed in his career, and our eldest off building a new life in TX, I have some options. Yet, just like the end of high school, I wonder what I should do. I know that I would love to go to school BUT it cost money and we are paying for one college education already! I would like to start riding again. Injuries from long ago prohibit the running that I use to LOVE but I could start the horses again. That is where I am giong to start. I am signing up TODAY for a riding class. Having grown us riding with my aunt, I only know Western (who am I kidding?? Bareback was more our style) so I need to start over with the whole Eastern style of riding. I am looking forward to it ~
