[gottawonder]

Today I am grateful for:

Feeling a little better today. Not quite so stressed about all the changes so far, and those about to come.

Getting some of the planning done for the house we are moving to our property. We have a lot of work to do to the layout, since we are adding an addition, changing a lot of stuff around inside, trying to decide where the deck will be, if we are putting on a porch, where to put a bathroom, and so on. It will take years to implement all the changes, but the planning has to start now.

Feeling good about work with the new ponies today. They are already easier to catch, and easier to handle their feet. The young male especially seems friendly and has a willing soul.

Riding River at home. His breathing has been really good since he came here, so I figured it would be okay to try riding him. This business of having him here at our place feels surreal! I bought him about 4 years ago, and he's always been at a riding facility so that I could get riding lessons and use the arena, and have the safety of people being around (my husband works away from home for long stretches, so I can't ride alone at home if there's no one who could respond if I needed help). Having him home makes him feel more like I actually own him. I rode him in the pasture today, and he was great and well-behaved.

Getting some more weeding done in the garden.

Having delicious mushrooms with supper.
