Today

I am grateful for this rainy, Wintery day...finally.... we need this rain...thank you for the rain.

Today...

I am grateful for my life and the opportunities I have allowed room for...

the opportunity to grow as a person...

the opportunity to see others as they are...not as I want them to be...

the opportunity to expect more from life and others....

the opportunity to expect more from myself...

the opportunity to expect opportunities...

Today

I am grateful for a brain that works as well as it does....
I am grateful for lungs that work....
I am grateful for legs that hold my body  up ...
I am grateful for a voice to speak my mind...
and share my feelings...
and sing when I want to sing...
and hands and arms to pet and hug other creatures as needed...

have a wonderful Monday!

Alrighty then...

Yesterday after work I spent some time with Cheyenne the Wonderful horse and we did some groundwork making isolating movement from the front and rear end . Minnie and I went for a stroll and discussed the days events and then Frisco and I went for a mile walk after dinner.
I woke up with the rain last night and had a hard time falling back to sleep, toss and turn, toss and turn. Finally I fell asleep or I thought I did, funny dreams.
Today it is still softly raining, which is great, we really need it this winter.So...that is it for now.

OK...no more deluding my delusional self...

I thought I looked healthier and trimmer than this...no more fudging, (literally)...no more casual drinks with friends....health first...ego second....more pictures to check and see how I am doing...dang.

Oh and I thought I liked this "genie" bra for the comfort and fit...but as I can see ....I don't like how it shapes or supports....dang.

Hellava Monday Morning Wake Up Call....dang.

The Weekend

Yay! It is Friday.
Today after work I am going to get my hair done and then Farmer Boy and I are going to a lecture at The Mondavi Center by Oliver Stone the film maker. I have never been to a lecture of this sort....I have been lectured and given lectures but I have never been taken to a lecture in a lecture hall.New stuff baby.

Tomorrow I am going to ride my horse, first and foremost. Cheyenne and I need some time together. It is hard in the Winter (simply because of the limited day light and work) to get in enough horsey time to satisfy my soul.
Then .....Farmer Boy and I are going to Herringer's Winery in Clarksburg to pick up some wine and enjoy some pairings of Port and chocolate, yum.
Sunday...Super Bowl Sunday...I am going to go to Jenni's and we will have a riding lesson in her arena with Tammi from TNT Horse Training. Yes, I will wear my spurs.

I also plan on taking some pictures, I haven't taken any pictures lately and I am missing that as well.
Remember:

With that I bid you adieu until next time  from down on the farm....
