Motivation

I'll admit, I was grumpy earlier today. Winter is back so that's part of it and part because I'll never be able to please everyone. But I've been watching the mares out the computer room window while I putter online. Even though there's a couple inches of snow, the mares are snug in their blankets happily eating their hay. And then I remembered my Dove chocolate sayings:

"Enjoy the simple things in life."

As I type this, Queen is relaxing, Babe is eating, and Mayhem is curled up taking a nap. There's no better life for me than with horses.

I was upset earlier because I can't stop thinking about the upcoming March sale. I may not be able to raise enough for this sale because we're so close to the deadline, which upsets me. But then I remember that it may be more beneficial to pull horses from the fall auctions instead. Those are the horses that desperately need help.

And then I got on TB Friend's website and saw the very skinny thoroughbred they rescued from the other day. Every bone is showing. Unfortunately he didn't make it. Go look at the pictures of this poor horse (http://www.tbfriends.com/). At least he died knowing someone cared.

Seeing pictures like that and knowing there are others, only invigorates me to try even harder to rescue. Every one should be loved be it person or horse. Rescuing might not be the ability to save a horse for years and years, it's sometimes about giving them just a bit of love and compassion and letting them go.

I'm now out of my grumpy mood and motivated to do something about it.

Because I'm tired of all the white, I'll leave you with pictures from this spring of greener pastures. Here's to spring, which will hopefully be here in a few more months.
