Brrr its cold outside

It has been so cold here the last week - temps ranging from 9 to 30. Now it is rainy and they are calling for freezing rain. Not much fun for outside activities. BUT, I have been able to bundle up and spend a good deal of undemanding time with the horses - hanging out like one of the herd. Everytime I take the time to do this, our relationship goes to a new level. When I get back to "working" I mean playing with one of my horses, they offer more, do more than I could imagine.

During this time, one of my horses, Sparks had a choke incident - at 10:30 at night no less. We had to have the vet out for treatment and we were all frozen by the time it was over. He is back to his normal naughty self now, thank goodness.

Since I dont have much to report, I thought I would post some of my favorite quotes.

I posted some favorite quotes a few months ago but found some additional that I hope you enjoy:

"A mind stretched by a new idea can never return to its original form." my alltime favorite and one I find to be true as I grow.

"I dwell in possibility" Emily Dickenson

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'WOW What a Ride!'"
--Unknown

Anything unattempted, remains impossible

There are no shortcuts to anyplace worth going

"We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals... In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth" Harry Beston, we are all fellow travelers.

What someone else thinks about you is none of your business

Stay warm!
