Back in the real world!!!!

Hello! 100 lessons completed 150 lessons completed

Hi all,

Yes, I am back!!!! For the onces who remember me, hi all, hope everything is alright with you.
.
It is nearly a year ago now, that I sent you the message about my partner who went to somebody else and told me on New Years Eve that he didn't love me anymore. I had a very difficult time for half a year but step by step I climbed out of the big hole where I fell in.
.
I will thank all the once who supported me in this on the forum. I also had contact with some of you through e-mail.
.
It is going much, much, much better now with me. I stayed in a caravan for half a year and now I found a very nice cottage, part of a farm house. One of my wishes.I moved in on the 10 of november and I am very happy.
I am building up my life and am stronger then ever.
Yes, there were some of you who told me that, but it is so difficult to see or belief that. But you all where right. Thank you also for sharing your experiences with me, it helped me.
.
I also went two or three times a week to Renske and was riding her. She is such a lovely horse and she could feel my tears. I have a bond with her, even it is not my own horse.
.
Since today I have internet again,(after nine months) so I can share the forum again.I missed this so much, but it was impossible to have internet where I stayed in the caravan.
.
Hope I can share your questions again and I will ask offcourse, as before, questions.
I can ride better now, learned a lot this year and understand my horse much better then one and a half year ago.
I have to go through all the new (forme) lessons and I am looking forward to that.
.
Hope hearing from you all how you are doing.
Bye for now, May, Holland.

Hi May,
Let me say in Dutch: WELKOM THUIS!!! (welcome home)
It is so good to know that you made your way out of trouble and became a stronger, maybe even wiser person. The help of Renske must have been unvaluable. Horses can do this for us, if we only let them into our hart.
Enjoy your comeback and all the lessons!
Keep us posted on how you're doing, we missed you!!!!!

This is so kind, thank you for welcoming me back.
.
Yes, you will hear from me again with all my questions!!! haha.
.
I have to sit down and go through all the lessons. Every day a few, so I can learn from it and let it sink in.
I am realy looking forward to be in contact with you and learn from the forum.
For now have a nice day all of you, (fijne dag allemaal)
May.

Hello May - I didn't knoiw you when all this happened but can I say what timing for your partner to drop that bombshell on New Years Eve. Every NYE from now on you need to thank him for letting you go so you can have a better life - any person who does that does not deserve your love. My Nana used to say "Jan, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger". She had a very difficult life losing her husband during the Great Depression and having to raise four children on her own with no money left for her. May, you have already shown your resilience and I wish you every success and happiness for every day in the future. Enjoy all the lessons. Best wishes Jan

Hello May,

welcome back. I have thought of you many times over the last months and wondered if you would feel better.
I am so glad you came back to the uni and are fine.
Renske has really been a big help for you. That's what horses do. A few years ago I had a riding partnership on an old english thoroughbred mare. At this time many people were teasing me at school (today I don't need to go there anymore) and was so sad everyday, I really fell into a deep depression. My family and boyfriend really helped me through this, but Shari (that's the horse's name) was there for me every Saturday morning, when I was riding. While grooming her, I told her all the bad and sad things that happened to me though the week, and it seemed as if she would understand every word. Those days I was extremely sad she just nudged me with her soft nose. She was so wonderful,
and I am so glad that you May, have a horse that does those things to you too!
Best wishes from Hamburg, Germany

Hi Jan,

Today I spoke to a friend of mine.I told him that I am glad I am not the partner of...... anymore.
This coming NWE I want to be alone to "close" the year 2012.
I will thank this year for what it brought me. First a lot of tears, but I have such a big group of wonderfull friends around me, who kept an eye on me. I was not the kindest/happiest person for them, but it didn't matter. If I see what those friends did for me? I can't discribe that.
So I am much better of without him and will thank him (in my mind) for that on NYE 02.00 hours!!! with a glass of champagne in my hands. The next day I will go to Renske and will thank her for her friendship and patience she had. And offcourse I will invite all my friends for a New Year drink and celebrate my new life.
.
Hi Jasmin,
Great to hear you to!!
Thank you for being so kind to give your e-mail (that time, in the beginning of 2012), that if I needed to talk I could also talk to you.
It is unbelievable what a sensitive animal a horse is. And it doesn't matter what you are telling them, they understand it because it is the energy what counts.
I can understand that it helps to tell all the things what was happening to you those weeks and it is a relieve to have "somebody" who is listening without telling you how he/she thinks about it. This beautifull creature gives/gave attention and love and that's all what you needed.
.
Hope everything is going smoothly.
.
Thanks again all, cheers May.
