Life Goes On
I could say that not much has been happening, on the other hand a lot has happened.
We have settled in at Dad’s. Things aren’t so bad really. Have been spending quite a bit of time cleaning and organizing. Have been spending time with Dad’s horse to, and hope to increase that time. I’ve missed being around horses, and find that I’ve forgotten some of what I used to know, which isn’t suprising really, as my memory isn’t the best. In any case it’s been fun training with him. He’s really a sweet horse, though I’m still learning how he acts in certain situations. He was following me around like a puppy last night, it was so sweet. It will be sweeter when I can pet him, and brush him and stuff like that. I’m looking forward to helping Dad train him to ride.
Spending time with Chief has made me long for my own horse again. In a way I want one that I can ride now, but in another way I want a baby that I can raise and train on my own. I had one once, her name was Misty Morning. I had a good start on her training, but then I got my priorities mixed up, and left my darling Misty for a man. She was a grand horse, and I feel really stupid for leaving her like I did. It was one of the biggest mistakes of my life, and there are many, so you know how badly I hurt over this one.
Anyway, I am once again trying to get my life straightened out, get my priorities in line, after another relationship gone bad. I don’t want to go into details as I’m not ready for that, and don’t know that I will ever be ready as this was very close to my heart, and I’m hurting a lot right now.
Anyway, enough for now I suppose.

Hi,
After a broken engagement when I was much younger, I tried to use the lonely time to know God better and get closer to Him. It wasn’t easy and I was still lonely at times, but that time benefits me to this day. I wish I had been more dedicated to time with God now that I have 13 children and have been married 20 years. And I STILL get lonely sometimes! I have a great husband, but sometimes it is very clear that being close to God will bring the only comfort. God bless you and I hope you feel better. Feel free to write to me anytime.
