Lessons from the Saddle: The Outside of a Horse is Good for What Ails the Inside of a Human

Maggie with 50-50

Rest in Peace 50-50~You filled my heart with joy and laughter.

"In the sweetness of friendship

Let there be laughter

And the sharing of pleasures.

For in the dew of little things

The heart finds it's morning 

And is refreshed."

Khalil Gibran

Maggie and 50-50

50-50~Your spirit was breath-taking and lifted my spirits

"You brave and glorious thing,

You came so far.

I see you.

Your beauty is breath-taking."

Jeannette Encinias

Ziggy pounds the beat that makes my heart sing the song

A Horse is Poetry in Motion

His hooves pound the beat

Your heart sings the song.

Jerry Shulman

The path to my heart

Is paved with hoof prints.

A horse in motion 

Clearly hears the music in his head.

Rest in Peace Lux Cream Soda, Old Friend. 

You are missed. Barbara

"In the quiet light of the stable,

You hear a muffled snort,

A stamp of a hoof,

A friendly nicker.

Gentle eyes inquire "How are you old friend?"

And suddenly, all your troubles fade away."

Author Unknown

I learned how to ride life from the back of a horse.

Riding high on the back of a horse I was in step with life.

"At four, my form was perfect

And my affinity for horses complete.

We were one."

Jeff Widen

"A good rider can hear his horse speak;

A great rider can hear his horse whisper."

A Chorus of Joy~Chirping in a Winter Wonderland

💓

Chirping in a Winter Wonderland

(To be sung to the tune of Walking in a Winter Wonderland)

🎜LIttle birds sing, are you listening?🎝

On the trail, snow is glistening

A beautiful sight

🎜We're happy tonight🎝

🎜Waking to a winter wonderland.🎝

💓

🎜Gone away is the bluebird🎝

🎜Here to stay is a new bird🎝

🎜He conducts a love song🎝

🎜As we go along🎝

🎜Chirping in a winter wonderland.🎝

💓💓

In the meadow happy Robins find red berries

🎜And share a cacophony of glee.🎜

They pretend that they're extraordinary 

And fly around the trees so merrily!

💓

🎜Later on, we'll seek home spires🎝

🎜To dream close by the fires🎝

🎜To face unafraid🎝

🎜The nests that we've made🎝

🎜Waking in a winter wonderland.

A Winter Wonderland written in 1934 by Felix Bernard and Richard B Smith

Adulterated by Susan J Meyerott 

Waking in a Winter Wonderland

Winter has arrived, dropping snow and bringing lots of robins and other birds to feast 

on the abundance of red berries peeking through the leafless trees. 

Each day I walk the wooded trail by my home,  I'm met by a cacophony of joyful song from fat, well-fed robins shouting out their good fortune for all to hear. 

As night falls, I watch the robins gather round the house looking to gather a few more tidbits before returning to their nests and calling it a night. 

All is Well. 

Hoping to find you fat and well-fed this winter, 

shouting out your good fortune for all to hear!

Wishing You Abundance, Joy and Good Cheer!

Be a Joyful Warrior Fighting for a Good Life

💜Rise Up Joyful Like a Bird💙

"When I rise up, let me rise up joyful like a bird. 

When I fall, let me fall without regret like a leaf."

Wendell Berry

💙A Spark of Heavenly Fire💓

"There is in every true woman's heart

A spark of heavenly fire

Which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity--

But which kindles up and beams and blazes

In the dark hour of adversity."

Irish Proverb

Three Things Matter

“In the end, just three things matter:

💓How well we have lived

💙How well we have loved

💚How well we have learned to let go”

Jack Kornfield

Hope💓Believe💙Create 💚Experience 💛Express

"What you hope, you will eventually believe. 

What you believe you will eventually know. 

What you know, you will eventually create. 

What you create, you will eventually experience. 

What you experience, you will eventually express. 

What you express, you will eventually become. 

This is the formula for all of life."

Neale Donald Walsch 

💓In Your Heart~Always maintain a 'Womb with a View'💓

" Within your heart, keep one still secret spot where dreams may go."

Hold Fast Your Dreams 

"Hold fast your dreams!

Within your heart

Keep one still, secret spot

Where dreams may go,

And, sheltered so,

May thrive and grow

Where doubt and fear are not.

O keep a place apart,

Within your heart,

For little dreams to go.

Think still of lovely things that are not true.

Let wish and magic work at will in you.

Be sometimes blind to sorrow.  Make believe.

Forget the calm that lies

In disillusioned eyes.

Though we all know that we must die,

Yet you and I

May walk like gods and be

Even now at home in immortality.

We see so many ugly things-

Deceits and wrongs and quarrellings;

We know, alas we know

How quickly fade

The color in the west,

The bloom upon the flower,

The bloom upon the breast

And youth's blind hour.

Yet keep within your heart

A place apart

Where little dreams may go,

May thrive and grow.

Hold fast-hold fast your dreams!"

Louise Driscoll
