I went riding today and anybody that was in the area knows that it meant I got a little tossed around by the wind. Even though it made my usually steadfast, well grounded horse a little spooky I enjoyed it. In fact I suggest it to any of you who need a pick me up or are feeling a little confined lately.
Riding in the wind is a good way to feel dangerous, well, that, and running with scissors. As the Redneck and I were walking on the side of the road, into the wind I may add, I recalled all those old movies of when the heroine would be riding away into the sunset with her hair streaming out behind her. Well I don't have very long hair but I thought I'd give it a try.
And you know what? if you want to feel free and wild and beautiful, go riding on a windy day and just simply let your hair down. It is the most invigorating feeling. So girls if you have had a bad week, saddle up, and if you don't have a horse find a high hill and shake it out behind you. You'll feel like you're on top of the world. As for guys, well I guess you're kind of S.O.L.
P.S. I said it'd make you feel beautiful but hair does have the tendency to get tangled in windy atmospheres. ;)
