I’m posting this early because we haven’t had internet for a week, and we only get it for a few hours a day if we get it at all.  They put a new switch in and something didn’t go well.

Seriously!  Where did this year go?  How did this happen?

I know when I was young my mother told me that years would go faster as I got older.  She wasn’t kidding.  It seems like yesterday was just January and I was burying my Jack Russell.  Then it was March and I was burying my chow and my last Clydesdale.  Along the way I’ve been to many funerals and memorials.  It seems like this has been a monthly, put it on your calendar thing.  This can’t be happening to me.  Where did this year go?  I still can’t figure out if we had a summer.  (It’s hard when it’s December 5th and it’s 81 degrees and your still out in the barn at 9:00 p.m. in a tee-shirt.  But other than mowing I don’t remember summer.  The end of this week I will remember it’s December, we are getting a cold front.  It’s going down into the thirties for a week.  “Oh My!”

So my New Years Resolution it to enjoy everyday, and every season.  When we were kids we didn’t put things on the calendar and rush the weeks away, we lived each day to the fullest.  Especially summer vacations.

This year let’s not make resolutions that we won’t keep.  Let’s be realistic and only make resolutions we will not only keep, but will totally enjoy.  Live each day like your horse will.

Have a happy, healthy, safe, New Year!
