Perspectives

Sometimes life presents us with opportunities to re-think things and gain a better perspective.

It’s not always easy but it can often be necessary.

    Pat, I am in Ohio USA but I feel like I know you like a neighbor, I’ve enjoyed so many of your videos. I am so sorry you lost your beloved mare. That’s a hard situation. Her spirit will remain with you always.
    Sorry about your arena situation too. The exact same thing happened to a friend of mine down here this past week too. These heavy rains followed by cold temperatures are not good.
    Good luck with your cateract surgery.

    Oh Pat… My heart is SO heavy for you. Somehow through all of these last several weeks and things on the close horizon that you will be enduring, you still find time to encourage, mentor, and share love. This is just a testament to your beautiful soul and your true character. THANK YOU for being such an amazing person and I am SO ever thankful that I found you and this beautiful site which always inspires me.

    Oh Pat. I can’t tell you how sorry I am to hear about the loss of shade. I love that story of how she chose you, and what a special horse she became to you. But you are so right about perspective. We just tend to emphasize the things that really aren’t that important and forget about the things that really are. Thank you for the reminder and my condolences to you and your staff.

    Hi Pat
    So sorry to hear about Shade. I’m sure she had a good life with you and that she was well loved. Such a touching story about how you got her….

    IF I could, I’d give you the biggest hug and we would cry together. You know you have so many followers who would say the same. Thank you for sharing your woes and heart with us. Yes, Spring will come and you’ll be fighting flies and heat…..this moment will be gone.
    I loved the story about how you found Shade. She was meant to be yours and God let you to her because He loves His creation! Give thanks for many good years with her, that you got the vet there as quick as you did and her passing was quick. You gave her a good life. Can we ask for anything better for our horses? You are loved by so many other horse people, now you have to get ready for your cataract surgery. A pretty routine surgery anymore. God will take care of you, dear Friend. He loves you and your tender heart!..Blessings!

    Wishing you a speedy recovery from your eye surgery.
