❤️ Today, I choose joy...no grand reason why,
Just the way the clouds painted color in the sky.
Coffee in hand, with the dogs at my feet,
And the barn waking up in a rhythm so sweet.

There’s laundry to fold, and bills to be paid,
The garden’s a wreck, theres chores I've pushed back.
But joy doesn’t wait for a perfect lined list,
It shows up in moments too sweet to miss.

Like sunshine spilling through the tack room door,
The sound of bare feet on a wooden floor.
A favorite song played way too loud,
A quiet win that makes you proud.

It’s muddy boots drying by the back step,
It’s giggles at dinner and promises kept.
It’s the calm that comes when you finally know
That life’s best things tend to grow slow.

I won’t wait for life to settle...
Joy doesn’t live in the “someday”, we can't just pause.
It’s here in the hustle, the grit and the grace,
It’s seeing the beauty right here in this place.

So here’s to the mornings that start with horses and light,
To breezes through barn doors and stirrups just right.
To dancing through dishes, to singing off key,
To being the woman I’m proud to be.

Today, I choose joy... not later, not when...
But here in this saddle, this barn, this pen.
Because life doesn’t always ride smooth or in line,
But joy is a choice, and today...
it will be mine.

Did you know that horses have special sweat? Most mammals don't sweat (very much). But horses have a special protein in their sweat called latherin, which acts like a detergent and makes their sweat foam. This helps sweat spread across their bodies for more optimal cooling.
