Again and again, though, caring for the horses renews me. Just doing chores two nights at the barn where I keep Scout levels me back to calm, Just having the chance to feed and care for the six horses there reminds me where my heart is happiest. Remember, winter is a great time to haul in all your tack and give it a good cleaning, too.Muddy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937615888562277779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180006151421348693.post-35374635987999134902011-01-29T07:38:02.467-08:002011-01-29T07:38:02.467-08:00Glad you perked up!

I got to see Izzy's cute little nose right before I went home (late) last night, and it totally made my night.SprinklerBandithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02948487857418394022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180006151421348693.post-39950054981439670892011-01-28T19:43:07.035-08:002011-01-28T19:43:07.035-08:00I'm the same way, and here it rains so much an...I'm the same way, and here it rains so much and is dark for so long, a person can't help but be depressed. <br /> I do ride a lot though, the indoor helps that. We have a gym membership at a place with an indoor pool so we take the kids there on rainy nights, and days, that helps too. <br /> You're right that getting outside helps tremendously. If it didn't rain so darn much I wouldn't mind the cold and get out more for walks. We've tried the whole umbrella and rain coats thing but we just aren't tough enough for that I guess!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180006151421348693.post-29751111879837013002011-01-28T19:11:45.832-08:002011-01-28T19:11:45.832-08:00Beautiful post!

A lot more people are than what they realize so you might want to get yours checked. A morning workout helps energize me and helps a little with my anxiety. Other than that like you said it's the horses and dogs that keep me going.Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.com
