Is it just me, or does there seem to be a lot of depressing news out there? It seems every time I turn around someone's sick, or losing their home, or has lost or is losing a loved one. It's just very sad, and it makes me feel ever the more grateful for the wonderful things I have in my life, especially my health, loved ones and secure (hopefully) job (that I hate, lol)! I pray for those who are going through trying times, and I truly believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for us all...we just need patience. I hope that the next time I'm feeling down someone reminds me of those words that I just typed.
Life is going well for me. Josie is getting big (3 months old now) and she's been an absolute joy for the most part. I've had a few moments where I felt like I was going to lose it, but then I just took it out on my husband and felt a lot better! Thank God for husbands!! Ha!
Here she is (above) in her Christmas PJ's...jolly lil' thing! She does NOT like hats, can you tell?
As for horses; I haven't been out to ride much. I've been on Lady (mom's horse) a few times, and that was nice. Lady is obese, just plain obese. She's healthy and all, but fat fat fat! My mom realizes this and she's working to correct it. I think the problem she's having is that the barn owner is feeding the other mare that Lady is pastured with a lot (she's old and thin) and Lady is partaking in the extra feed as well.
I hate to say this...again...but I'm dreaming that this Spring or summer, I'll have a horse. J keeps offering any of hers up, which is amazingly generous, but I don't want to put myself into a position where I have a horse that I have no time to ride. I feel like that's been my life lately. It's a problem with either money or time. Ugh! Once Josie is a bit older (this Spring or Summer) I'll revisit J's offer. I don't expect much from myself on this one as I've been bound and determined to get me a horse many a time over the years. I hope though, I hope. Also, I don't want to board a horse at J's farm. It's too far off the beaten trail and truthfully, I want to be a part of a barn where there are others to ride/show with. I want to have fun with horses again.
Anyway, I hope everyone had a beautiful Christmas and I hope that 2012 brings us all peace, joy and health!
