Decisions

This morning, as I fed my horses, I decided to dump my ponderings onto a blog. My first thought of the day....the two old mares I have are sure 'nuf in love with each other. Even on a cloudy, misty morning, the sight of seeing the old gals- each hovering over their feed bowls but within sight of each other, just warms and assures my heart that all is well. As Jack (the stud colt) races and whinnies in the round pen, Spinner is busy rattling and shaking his bucket. Mornings are my favorite time of day. After each horse is fed, I enjoy the calming effect of hearing the grinding of teeth on grain and hay. The smell of damp grass and the quiet solitude in the simple act of feeding my horses makes the world right.

Maybe I'll sell an article today or find that dream job, so I won't have to contemplate selling one of my beloved horses once again. The thought is almost too terrible to imagine. Remind me to tell you of the last company I worked for....the story is long, sometimes amusing, but a sad tale in the end.
