[gottawonder]

Today I am grateful for:

An ever so slight shift in the cold spell.

Checking on River, and having time to take all the blankets off and make sure he's okay under there, giving him a chance to roll in the arena and move around for a while. I know that a lot of the time when it's this cold, they'll just stand either in front of the hay, or in the shed, and not get any exercise.

My riding friend was there, and we talked for a while. I haven't really had a chance to talk with her much since before Christmas. Apparently her little dog injured one of his hind legs, tore the ACL tendon, and had to have it amputated. She could have opted for surgery to try and repair it, but those surgeries don't really have a great success rate, and they're bloody expensive. I was very sorry to hear this, and I didn't know that she was going through this. I'm glad we finally had a chance to catch up.

That my sweetie didn't make me go with him to see his parents at the airport. This whole thing with his Dad had stressed me out so much, but I'm glad my sweetie respects me.

Having my sister to talk to. She validated my feelings, and it helped a lot.
