I enjoy reading, horseback riding, and learning new things

I enjoy reading, horseback riding, and learning new things

I enjoy reading all different genres of books and expanding my vocabulary and knowledge. I've enjoyed horseback riding since I was a small child and find it therapeutic. As I mature, I am finding I enjoy learning new things. I recently discovered I enjoy flying when I believed my entire life I would be afraid of it. I also discovered this summer I would like to learn to surf which is something else I had thought I would fear. As I watched various surfers in Florida this summer, I was enchanted with the idea of learning this new skill. I am excited about all the future has to hold for me and all the activities I have yet to learn.
