I have owned or worked with hundreds and hundreds of horses over the years.  Every one of them was special in their own way.  Each one was teacher, a confidant, a partner, a friend.  But there is always one who stands out to be more special, more loved, more loving than all the rest.  Desert was mine.

Somehow I stumbled onto a site with a saying that totally ripped my heart out.  It touched me so much that I had to purchase it.  It made me cry, but was so much of what I truly experience.  I will post it here, many of you have not gotten there yet, but so many more will relate and shed a tear.

I have no idea who the author is, but I’m thankful to him or her.  It had a beautiful picture with a white horse on it.

“I thought of you today, but that is nothing new.                                                I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.                                I think of you in silence, I often speak your name.                                          All I have are memories, and your picture in a frame.                                  Your memory is a keepsake, from which I’ll never part.                              God has you in His arms, I have you in my heart.

We must embrace the past, but look forward to the future.

Happy New Year!
