I'm done with horses (for now)
I tried riding lessons this spring. I enjoyed riding, but never got excited it about when off the horse. There were actually a few times I dreaded going to the lesson. Lessons didn't work out for various reasons that were nobody's fault (or no horse's fault). I'm not really interested in perusing. So I'm updating my condo with the money I had allocated for a horse. Had the bedrooms repainted, new kitchen appliances, cabinets, and countertops. Last week new carpeting was installed throughout, and yesterday I ordered new furniture for the living room. My living room furniture was all hand me downs, some over 30 years old. Maybe the situation will be right at some point for me to resume riding. Maybe not. What happens is o.k. |

| Maybe you can do some volunteer work with horses, just to keep them in your life? Or wait for a better time, when the stars align the right way! |
Time for a sheepie in your avatar.  |
| Sometimes we need to take a breath. Bob hasn't been gone all that long and fixing up your place gives you a feeling of satisfaction. Who wouldn't enjoy new furnishings and new paint. Maybe in the future you might come upon the perfect horse or something else that gets your attention. Enjoy your new purchases. |
| Sounds great. Do whatever gives you joy, that's what is important. |
I think you had such a strong loving bond with Bob, maybe you just were not ready yet. It takes our hearts a long time to heal when we have a devastating loss such as yours.  I still have moments when tears come thinking of my sweet Bear Bear and Karma kitty. And that has been a year and a half.Your heart will let you know when it is time. I do hope you enjoy your new things you got for your house...I still have hand me downs and probably will my whole life....for some reason, the universe thinks i should be poor my whole life,  go figure, lol |
| Mable, I think you are right. I love horses but believe I could never have a bond with another like I did with Bob. Yet I look at other people who get horses or dogs and have no problem establishing a new relationship. My heart just isn't there yet. P.S. The last new furniture that I bought as an adult was my dining room set about 20 years ago. Still have it, still love it. All other furniture was hand me downs (except my bedroom set which my parents bought me almost 30 years ago!) |
