A Stable Personality: Life with horses  The story of a girl who bought the farm, the horses and a backhoe.

Grumble.

by Billie on October 23rd, 2008

Yesterday was not a good day for several reasons.  Today has improved my outlook not at all.

From my upstairs office window I look out at the traffic passing by, the trees blowing in the strong north wind, and witness twilight silently falling.

I have lately come to realize that honesty comes with its own set of rules, regulations, and contingencies depending on the subject at hand and the person dispensing the commodity. 

My preferred brand of honesty involves removing any filters (maintaining a semblance of kindness when possible), laying the proverbial cards on the table.

It seems others do not share this idea, which frustrates me to absolutely no end.  No wonder I prefer my animals – they do not employ subterfuge.

I need a break.  To get away.  To cultivate new friendships.  To see Sunspot more frequently.  To watch old Star Trek episodes late into the night.  To revisit the Dali Lama’s works.  To meditate each day.   To think about me for a change.

    Yea! Horray. Go for it. Isn’t the thought simply exciting, like home made macaroni and cheese?

    Why should today be any different then yesterday or tomorrow. It seems like you are always thinking only about yourself and how things affect you.

    Wow Jane. That makes NO sense, and is sort of vindictive in an inappropriate way.

    Billie simply expressed her tiredness, as a founder of this website Jane I think you were out of line.

    Billie, I support your desire to watch Star Trek.

    This was a terrible thing to say on what I consider to be a thing a beauty. Shocked.
