No regret...

                                                                                     

As I think about living the cowboy life I recall good times; The sound of hooves pounding the ground like a drum, my heart beating a thousand miles per hour while on a dead lope, the wind blowing my hair around in every direction, the incomparable feeling of a successful day. My thoughts also fall back to the long days; The days that felt never-ending, the brutal rain splashing on my face, having eyes filled with dust and hair full of dirt, working from dawn to dusk in stormy weather, with wind so alive you can't stay still. But when I remember the good times of being with family and friends, riding off in the sunset, I'd do it again with no regret. -Emilee Nicholas
