[gottawonder]

Today I am grateful for:

My body is doing good at feeling warm enough, even though it's cold outside.

A pretty good ride on River. He relaxed and gave into the collection today, while continuing to move out well. Really pleased. I was able to let him have a long cool down walk while the kid's class warmed up; he likes walking around with his neck stretched, relaxing, with other horses around.

It was nice to ride with one of the riders I see there a lot (she's there almost every day, because she has a few horses of her own, and she's always training horses to sell, and riding for other people).

Another rider read one of the tests for me for practice.

I got to say hello to the girl who used to come to the library. She had a lesson.

Getting the turtle's filter cleaned and running again. I haven't had it set up for a while with all the house stuff going on, and concerns for one turtle who had a near death experience this summer, so I didn't have the water deep enough to use the filter. I was gradually making the water deeper to see if the turtle could be buoyant. So far it's doing ok.

My sweet animals.

My sweetie is home tonight. What's nice, is that some of the pressure is off house-wise because the basement floor is poured. Sure, there's a lot more to do, but it's not so time-sensitive.
