Taking a much-needed day off from work is enough to make yesterday a good day, but there was more good than I can even fathom to come.
The plan was to walk a large piece of acreage that’s for sale not far from here. Of course I’d love to own a piece of it (it is a gorgeous place with river frontage and creeks) but it isn’t in the cards for me in my current financial situation so I did the next best thing and enjoyed the hike into an area I wasn’t familiar with while dreaming of all that I could do with it.
After lunch we headed toward the farm so that I could spend some time with Bravo (my horse). As luck would have it, my friend Tracy was on her way to the farm as well, as suggested that I pick up a saddle and get back on Bravo.
I did and it was the most moving spiritual moment I’ve had in a while. To recap, I fell from Bravo almost a year and a half ago and my hip injury was so bad that I couldn’t ride for quite a while. Now Bravo is back at the farm and I am back in the saddle. We didn’t do anything more than walk and spend time together, but that was enough.
And it was good.
