How did you spend your day?
I am an avid equestrian- not great but enjoy the challenge. Finally started riding my husband's new horse. Boy has he gotten herdbound. Realized he hates being separated from his buddies- WOW- just like us humans. When i take him away from his herd he does a left turn back to his friends. Not a right turn- a strong left turn. So i spent yesterday getting him comfortable leaving - and found out if I anticipate his anxiety- and block him with a right neck rein- better.
HOpe everyone finds something insightful each day during these challenging times.
@barncat Mostly in a pile of existential depression.
@TiltedWindmill- your comment inspired me to look up existential- "looking for the meaning of life" among other things- you hit the hammer on the head. Searching for the purpose and meaning of life- especially now in the covid crisis. Now we get to restructure our lives and look for new meaning.
spent (or wasted) the morning reading posts on the forums- searching for conversations. so miss the casual interactions in my community. it is just not the same- and it is though i am a junkie looking for a fix. need my hugs fix- miss my smiles from other people fix. miss being able to drop in on neighbors homes for a tea fix. how is everyone else functioning in this wierd abnormal world of social distancing? or is it just me in withdrawal.
Everyone copes the best way as they can..... In these times it's not so easy
The weekenders are up!!! Yeah- new faces to meet on the beach. And some wonderful engaging conversations - getting to know each other. It is uplifting to chat with other people. Have some possible opportunities to work with children and my horses again- simply have to find out how to "social distance" enlisting my geldings. Now- do I have to put a mask on my horses- ah that would be hilarious. Gus would want to eat anything near his mouth.
I spent most of the day out side enjoying nature.
I miss riding so much. That bond between horse and human. My friend and I were going to go but then everything is still closed. But it will happen again.
@Goldcherry2113- glad you are enjoying nature. I rode Flash- the horse ive been thrown off of the most- today. When he is good he is a fantastic ride. Every day I am able to dismount safely is a good day.
Today I watched The Bucket List
Both Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson are actors I admire.
Today is Christmas 2020- first holiday call was from Sonny's previous owner checking how he is doing. My husband gave him the sad news of Sonny's passing in 2019. I still miss my heart horse almost every day.
Being alone and miserable and wishing I could curl into a ball and die.
@tluper6491- we made it through another day. Hope today is better for you.
