Gratefulness- Day 3

Last night I rode a horse that needs a home. He is a diamond in the rough right now but he has serious potential. I actually rode this horse for a friend that is looking for a new addition to her herd. I, however, couldn't shake that I really liked this little fellow.  I went to the barn this morning and fed my horses with a little too much on my mind. I decided to sit down with them and be open to their messages.

Every single one of my horses gave me something. Jack is my solid grounding rock, Diva is my effervescent soulful wild child, Zoe is my stoic leader, and Lady is my everything, she is my 'in the now' girl. How could I ask for anything more? Together they help me stay connected in the moment, find joy in everything, lighten up, and find relaxation. I would dare to say I am one of the luckiest horse women I know. I am blessed with these beautiful beings in my life that have truly transformed who I am and created such beauty in my life.

Adding another horse to this mix...well, it is a tall order. He would have a lot to live up to. And frankly, I am sure there are no voids to fill that my fabulous foursome can't take care of for me. My horse's reassured me today that I am exactly where I need to be and sometimes it is ok to question our journey. But we must always be open to the possibility of our journey taking us on an unexpected course. I called into question the completeness of my herd and I was answered with a resounding "Yes, we are complete in this moment."

I was filled with gratefullness this morning when I woke up. I was grateful for my home, my husband, my dogs, my cat, my bird, and my horses. They are all my family-two legged, feathered, and four legged. We are perfect as we are and I am blessed with such wonderful beings in my life to guide me along the way. I don't know that I have ever experienced this kind of gratefulness and for that I am grateful!
