gottawonderToday I am grateful for:
Good sleep.
Not feeling too "busy" today. I tossed some neck covers (part of horse winter blankets) into the wash.
I talked with Sister S, and today she didn't sound as tired/depressed as the last call we had. We didn't talk about her health, just chatting.
I let everyone out for a while before I headed to the barn.
My Sweetie met me at the barn, which was unexpected. He doesn't usually stay for the lessons.
Lots of running in our lesson today, working on diagonal yields a bit, but needing to go back to some basic work with keeping bend in his frame during the draw, and in ridden work. I keep forgetting this, and partly because when we ride with just the neck rope, it's a lot harder to worry about bend in the ribcage, and I end up not thinking about it.
I am NOT a runner, but you do have to do some running with Liberty work, and R today commented that I am a better runner than many of her kids that are taking lessons. That's kind of awful, but I've seen those kids, and no, they don't look like they can run.
After the lesson, we all went upstairs for some kitten time. Goodness, kittens are adorable.
Then we came home, and I did make some cabbage for myself, and my husband had some of the roasted veggies from yesterday.
