Dear Gran'momma,
I love you dearly and I am so happy I got to spend time with you on your birthday. I love spending time with you on Sundays, too. I was quite bummed out when my mom told me you weren't coming on the horseback riding trip in the Gulf. We came up with the idea and thought you'd LOVE it. My mom said that you had ridden horses a lot as a child and that you'd even done it through the water. We thought you'd love it again and it was going to be a great girls' trip on a Sunday at the Sunshine Skyway. My mom set-up the reservation with Cypress Breeze Farms and when I asked her details, she told me you weren't coming.
We thought you'd love it --so what happened?
She said you didn't want to get hurt. I never like to hear that from someone. Gran'momma, you're most agile and athletic and I was certain you wouldn't fall off or get hurt. This basic reasoning didn't sound like you. You take things head-on. You're aggressive and have a go-for-it attitude. My mom proceeded to tell me that you didn't want to risk it because if anything went wrong you wouldn't be able to play tennis. NOW I GET IT! And I love you more! I love that you know what you like, you know what is important to you, and you stick with it. You didn't cave in to peer pressure or try to make us happy. You stuck to your guns. While I would have loved to have seen you smiling and having fun up on a horse out in the water, I am so glad you got in your doubles match on Monday morning. And you won! Thank-you for being you and for setting a strong example to me about knowing where to focus and how to execute. What have you done recently that's taken you out of focus from your priorities?
