Welcome to horse COVID...
The world's head has exploded again, and I am still doing the same old thing; strapping on spurs and stepping into stirrups. Exactly like the last time the world's head exploded. Trying mightily to keep a leg on either side. Eyes up, heels down, and my mind in the middle.
Thing is...outside of sitting in the saddle, where is the middle for the rest of the world?
All the lost souls are howling to be centered. God knows I hear them when I open my Facebook and peruse for news of the world.
Loud and clear, folks screaming;
"The sky is falling! The sky is falling!"
It's not though. It's just a hiccup, a pause, in all our plans. Nobody needs to be right or wrong, or hung from the scaffolding for believing and doing other than you. Relax. The horses who are going to be fine, are going to be fine, we just need to keep looking after them. And the ones who aren't, we'll pray and we will grieve, and we will go on. That is life. It's how it has always been. Wringing our hands and screaming doom and gloom doesn't do a damned bit of good, other than make us sound hysterical and give everyone around us a headache.
Keep it real.
Eyes up, heels down, and your mind in the middle.
We will catch you on the other side. ♥️
Have a good day folks. 😊
