What Did I Learn on Saturday?

My friend Carol is a blast to take a road trip with!

Don't be a quitter...if it gets tough, if it makes you cry ...don't quit...work until you succeed  ...
If what you are doing isn't working, step back ...think... do it better....be creative...and if that doesn't work ... try something else...
Don't start something you aren't willing to finish...
Might does not make right...
There is no secret....work your tail off...
Pet your horse...not scratch, not pat...pet...
Don't be a victim...
Be a mentor...
Commit to your self and your horse...
Life and horses...it's all the same...
How you treat your horse is how you treat your life...
How you let your horse treat you is how you let life treat you...
Start soft...offer a feeling first...a mere suggestion of an idea ...
Don't be a wimp...
Be safe for yourself and others...be strong..
Never Give Up : )

Some of this I knew, but didn't know...know what I mean? It is good to reinforce these life/horse lessons : )

How much better you feel when....

You state your facts and draw your line in the sand...
Start to see results.....
Get a good nights sleep....
Take Stress reducing levels of B vitamins...

Sweet Friends Say....

I am Beautiful to others...
aw shucks...thanks...now I am blushing...I am as pink as my blog background!

I am grateful for my friends...

OK See....

I know, I know I haven't really written anything in a while, mostly videos and such....well....I started this blog to have a place to write about what I am grateful for in my life...when things seem  dark and full of despair...retreat to the blog and see what is good. Well....I haven't really felt all that grateful lately.So...I copped out and posted videos.

When actually I have alot to be grateful for....
I woke up this morning
I am on this side of the grass
I have human companionship
I am working towards being a better human..ok sometimes a bitter human (Haha) , but most of the time a better human
I have animal companionship
I have a house...
I have a job
I have a cool truck
I have a wonderful horse
I have a functioning brain

points to ponder...yes indeed.
