Well with everything crazy in the world, Bob and I decided to go boating today (it’s in the upper 80’s and sunny here). We saw people out riding their bikes, motorcycles, riding their horses. They say don’t be in crowds so this is the perfect opportunity to ride.
Friends were talking about where they would like to ride, if given the chance. One of my neighbors said that if they close the Skyway Bridge, at the mouth of Tampa Bay, she wants to ride over that. I don’t even like to drive over that.
My one friend asked on the Internet “Why Toilet Paper?” Why has everyone made a run on Toilet Paper? I have no idea. We prepare for Hurricanes and we run out of water and plywood, but toilet paper? Never.
World has gone crazy I guess. You want to hear crazy?? Two women fighting over a bottle of Ketchup at Wal-Mart. One woman gets so made she grabs a bottle of wine, smashes it and stabs the other woman. Now that is crazy. It’s only a bottle of ketchup for pete’s sake.
We horse people are blessed. We walk out to the barn, put our hands on our horses, and get the peace beyond all understanding. All the worlds troubles and craziness is gone. We get on their backs and we fly like Eagles, nothing can touch us. We stroll through the woods, or the fields, and it’s simply magical. All the chaos of the world is gone, it’s just us; my horse and I. Wasn’t that a Broadway Musical?? Oh no, wait, that was The King and I. Same difference.
Most people will never have the pleasure of the peace we feel when we are with our horses. If more people had horses, psychiatrists would be out of business.
At least this is giving us something else to be concerned about, but the safety of our horses is still lurking in the backs of our minds. A bunch of us on the Internet are praying between Noon and 1:00 p.m. everyday for the safety of our horses from these butchers, please feel free to join us.
God did not give us a spirit of fear (or we wouldn’t ride horses), just please make wise decisions and stay safe from this virus. This too shall pass. (Not soon enough)
