Ranting

I'm going to warn you in advance this is a ranting and venting post. I'll apologize upfront to those I offend. I'm simply irritated and crabby (probably not the best time to write a post.)

****************************************************

It dawned on me this weekend I let five horses, that's right FIVE, horses slip through my hands in the past month. I believe at least one of them was a diamond in the rough. I listened to others. I am trying to figure out exactly what types of horses I should really be taking in. I'm struggling with the idea.

I didn't listen to anyone when I decided to take on Chaos. I didn't listen to anyone when I decided to take on Maverick. They were both diamonds in the rough. There are always those that dont' ever become true diamonds, I'm thinking Brego. But there are so many diamonds in the rough that only need to be given the chance.

I got them young. I didn't know what I was doing. But you don't expect your six year old child to know how to do algebra. You send them to school to learn. You can't expect a three year old hores to know what to do until you send them to "school". Chaos, Maverick, and Brego all had that chance. I could easily adopt out Chaos or Maverick because they are true diamonds, worth more than diamonds to me.

I'm just mad because I listened to everyone else with those five horses and didn't follow my instincts. It would be hard work. It would be stressful. It would weigh heavily on my mind when it came to adopt them out. It would stretch my bank account to the max. But I would have no one to blame but myself for taking on a challenge and failing. Instead, I blame myself for listening to others instead of listening to my heart.

So don't be offended if I ask for your opinion, but I don't act on it. I'll be gathering everyone's opinons, weighing my options, and then acting but letting my head and heart have a higher rank. I am only one person doing the work of many. But I do need the moral support of others.

Ok, so I may not be making sense, but I feel better on my ranting and raving. Just ignore me today. I seem to be off kilter today. I'm betting a good horseback ride would fix that.
