I don’t know how 2016 was for my four legged friends, but at least within my human orbit it was an up-ended year. Family and friends struggling, the political world on its head, and uncertainty even more prevalent than usual. For me, one coping strategy is to spend more time in the barn! I find it soothing, especially when the horses are eating. They seem so focussed on doing what they need to do to survive, and they are loving every bite. I think there is a message there. Here’s to 2017, a year to survive and savor.

So similar to my thoughts, Kathy. I often have to remember there is sometimes devil in the detail. Just let go and breathe when I’m at the barn. Helps put a lot into perspective, helps me decide what to let go of, helps remind me of all we DO have, helps me to have courage to go on. Here’s to enjoying those bites of survival…..every time. Warm hugs from Colorado! Jennifer
