How are you doing, physically? We haven't heard too much. I hope you are healing.

Sending good vibes. Wish I could do more.; June 7, 2011 at 6:55 PM

Seasons always change though, if right now is tough, just know it gets better and brighter time is up ahead. Just keep walking forward, even if the steps are tiny :); June 7, 2011 at 10:04 PM

Cousin B said...: My heart goes out to you...I know this is a hard time. But, I too think things will get better, sometimes we just have to wait to see what doors God is going to open up for us. Be patient, ask for guidance and keep us posted. Praying for you. Chin up sweetie!
But, thanks for posting that song.... see...you helped someone just by doing that. I am recovering from a fall I took off a spooked horse and landed me in hospital with three fractures in my spine. Take care and thank you!; June 15, 2011 at 1:32 AM
Kelly said...: Love the movie this song is from...have seen it many times. Guess that is why I don't think the song is sad - more uplifting. Hope you are looking forward and getting stronger every day - in body and spirit!; June 18, 2011 at 5:25 PM

I was diagnosed with a chronic n(and incurable) pelvic pain condition about two weeks after I bought my first horse at 38. I rode anyway, even though it always made me feel worse. After trying to ride through the pain and a couple of bad falls, I decided my riding days were over unless I could better manage my disease and get into better physical shape.

Then I lost my job, and although I've lucked out so far I have lived daily with the possibility of losing my girls.

Horses are beautiful and they're balm for the soul. But they are not the only answer. You are doing a terrifically brave thing by doing the right thing by your family.

Good things will come into your life because of this.; June 19, 2011 at 7:42 PM

My Quotes:

“Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of Solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and, once it has done so, he will have to accept that his life will be radically changed.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"A good horse is worth more than riches."
- Spanish Proverb

"Feel the Fear - Do it Anyway"
- Susan Jeffers

RIDE FOR HER!
Somewhere behind the rider you've become,
The trainers who pushed you,
The people who believed in you,
The long hours of schooling,
The falls you've taken,
The ribbons you didn't win,
The tears and broken bones,
And the horses you've given your heart to,
Is the little girl who fell in love with the sport
And never looked back.
Ride for her!
