It amazes me that so many of us are ungreatful of everything we have been blessed with.  We are quick to judge because inside we make ourselves miserable with feelings of hatred and jealousy.  We let our egos get the better of us (if one exists).  But I have the peace of mind knowing that when looking around at what others have worked very hard to acquire, that I am the bigger person & am happy for the success they've had & wish them luck& a Hell of alot more success in the years to come.  And if they are kicking my ass in every arena, it will only inspire me more to work harder and do the best that I can with what God gave me.  Not to go to the group who may be my "friends" until my back is to them, and gossip about the person I wish I was and the horse I wish I had.  We're all in this sport together.  Why cut someone down because God blessed them with a fast horse that can smoke around 3 barrels?  Good luck to all this season and all of the seasons to come.  May God be with you.  Please remember, barrel racing is a sport, not a soap opera!  3 barrels 2 hearts 1 God.
