Last night I just could not shut off the brain, Ideas galore were running amok. And then the fear started creeping in, that ole self doubt. What was I thinking? How could I take on a project like this? As those thoughts tried to take over, I used my self affirming tools. Well if you don't give it a shot, how will you ever know if you could be successful. Of course, I am reminded of the thought, if you don't try, you have already failed. That is not who I am, that is not who my parents raised, and it certainly is not what I taught my children. So as I drifted off to sleep, my thoughts now getting some organization, I fell asleep.
It was a good sound sleep, I awoke to Red Dog trying to kick me out of bed and Trixie downstairs, moving around, I didn't have much time to think about anything else but getting their day going....outside. I think I have mentioned that Red Dog and Trixie are service animals. I could not survive as well as I do, without them. Plus, since I live in a 2 story house, the dogs have never been exposed to that. Even after I got Red Dog to come up, she fell a couple of times, was anxious, but she wanted to be near me so bad, that she overcame that. As I was sitting on my bed last evening, Red Dog came to join me and I heard Trixie doing her little dance. But I was busy and not paying to much attention until I felt another wet nose on my leg and lo and behold, there was my little girl, she had heard Red Dog rattling a bag, and guess her curiosity got the better of her. It was an empowering moment for me.
So, I have been doing some research on the Southern Rio Grande B and B, getting ready to start her blog and FB page.
As well as helping a horse rescue place here in Cortez, doing paperwork. In exchange for horse riding privileges.
Today is another good day. We take them as they come. I appreciate these days more and more. I must rein myself in, because it has always been my nature to stay busy. I must remember the Clint Eastwood line, "A man has got to know his limitations." Doesn't offend me in the least the use of the word man. A reminder, baby steps, baby steps.
Headed to Mancus in a bit, taking over some of my sculptures. I know I didn't post pics. sigh
Have a blessed day. Enjoy your good days. Reality is, it won't last, but as with everything, we should be prepared for those days as well.
