Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. I’m so happy to see you.
I was wondering how your weekend is going? Mine is flying by. .. Anyway for some reason I have been thinking about how I use to love to go horseback riding. At one time in my life I actually wanted a horse SO badly.♡ I’ve had many adventures riding. One time I went on a all day day ride near the Grand Canyon. It was amazing. Can I share a little secret with you my friend. …I was SO very sore afterwards. ( grin with eyes wide open)♡ I was in college at the time… and it was during Spring break. Even after that experience I STILL wanted a horse SO badly. I might have actually started praying for one.(grin)
Early in my marriage my husband took me on a surprise Saturday date. Any guesses Where that might have been?
Sunset Ranch. …2005
A group of us went on a evening horseback ride in the Hollywood Hills. Which by the way involved parking our horses, and having dinner at a Mexican restaurant. That was REALLY an adventure! My husband Joe is an excellent rider, and before we even knew one another…. He owned his own horse. His horse was named El Sueno. That means dream. It was Joe’s dream too. I think he must have been sort of a Cowboy back then. (Big smile)
My favorite story however, is when we we’re traveling in Buenos Aires… and spent the day at a gaucho Ranch….
Ummm… guess what our Christmas card was that year. ..( Giggle, giggle) Well I guess what I have been thinking, is that I never did get that horse. The one I had thought I wanted SO badly.
And guess what. … it’s probably a blessing. I still ADORE horses, and enjoy riding…
I visit these horses close to where I live. ♡ I think they are such beautiful creatures. And who knows perhaps one day down the road one just might come along….♡
However, at this time of my life, I’m not sure I’d be a happy horse owner. I guess it was sort of an illusion I had about how exciting and wonderful
owning a horse would be. I’m wondering if that has ever happened to you my friend? Was there anything you thought you wanted SO badly? How did that turn or for you?
Sometimes things that we think we want. .. We don’t get. …AND as I’ve seen looking back on my own life I’ve certainly been graced, and saved NOT to always get what I thought I wanted, and at times prayed for. ♡
Because then I had room to LOVE what I was GIVEN♡which has brought me more love, happiness, and JOY than I ever could have imagined.♡
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed your visit. Have a lovely day my friend.
XOXO. ..
Marcia
