gottawonderToday I am grateful for:
Having blankets for my old girls here at home. It isn't SO cold, but there was a lot of wind today that made it feel worse.
I went to see River today, and at first he was very distracted by R doing chores outside; he was still doing a reasonably good job with our ground work and Liberty pattern. He was relaxed and focused after R finished chores, and he did well with our riding work even though the wind was causing the cover of the arena to snap and shift. Then R came back out and moved some horses around outside and River was distracted again. It is hard to compete with the sound of of someone just outside the arena moving horses, throwing hay, opening and closing metal gates.
R kind of tried to turn the conversation towards the events surrounding the convoy, and I simply would not engage. It may have been a little rude, but I know we have VERY different views about what the convoy represents, and I WILL NOT let politics ruin our relationship. I'm pretty sure she knows how I feel, so I don't even know why she would bring it up, knowing that I likely don't even feel like I can be honest about my feelings. I don't even want to sit there listening to her talk about it, and pretend to be neutral or agree with her. We managed to talk about other things, and I think we're both better off that way.
I came home, had a nap, and finished watching the HBO "Chernobyl" mini series. It was very hard to watch, and extremely uncomfortable in places, but pretty accurate. I thought it was well done, and it's something everyone should know about.
