I had a landmark birthday over the weekend. A friend who I have known since I was about five got tickets to the Little River Band concert. We went out to dinner beforehand, and I ate Ethiopian food for the first time. He had also called my two sons, whom he had never...

On Sunday I’m adopting two mini donkeys. They have been with their people for 20 years and I hope it doesn’t create too much upheaval for any of us. When I heard about them, I was wondering how Patty was going to take spring when she will not be allowed to go...

Do you ever feel invisible – like someone is looking right through you? Or forgotten – as if you’re not even there? As a caregiver, this happens often. In a small town where we all know each other people would stop me and ask about Mike. They didn’t ask how I was...

As fall closes in it’s starting to get cold at night. It’s nice to not have to try to beat the heat when I’m out working with the horses. They seem to be enjoying the cooler temperatures as well. It has gotten cold enough a couple of nights that I’ve used the...

For the last two weeks, my back has been feeling sharp twinges of pain. This means my body is physically out of balance. It helped to see the chiropractor in Colby as I was on my way to Summit in Colorado. The pain never went away completely probably because I was...

Procrastination leads to overwhelm. Overwhelm leads to procrastination. It’s a vicious cycle. I’m in a writing group that meets via Zoom on Monday mornings. That’s when I write my blog post for the week. Sometimes we get into conversations and don’t get around to...

How are you at setting boundaries? I’m not so good. It’s interesting I’m better at setting boundaries with my horses and dogs than with humans. When I was younger those things were reinforced. In my life with people, I was taught to be flexible. Adjusting to make...
