"The most wasted of all days is one without laughter."
e e cummings

American Poet
(1894 - 1962)



Halting for Humor –

Wisdom from the Wild


Perhaps the sky is falling.

Maybe he bid his senses farewell.

Possibly, he has simply paused to play.

Surely that’s the point.


The ice turns to ivy.

Mud turns to meadow.

Frost turns to flowers.

And I still believe.


Perhaps the halter is a halo.

Maybe his head is a helicopter.

Possibly, he is simply fond of frolic.

Surely that’s the point.


The ice turns to ivy.

Mud turns to meadow.

Frost turns to flowers.

And I still believe.


"Spring is nature's way of saying,
'Let's party!'"
Robin Williams
American Comedian and Actor


5 Things About Which I Plan to Be Intentional This Week:


1) Keeping up with my daily devotional blog.


Throughout 2009, please join us at The Heart of a Ready Writer, a Bible reading and devotional blog, as we read through the entire Bible in chronological order.


2) Riding at least two horses a day (at least four times this week).


3) Hitting the trails every day that weather permits.


4) Ground-training my filly to prepare her for halter and saddle work in a few months.


5) Walking at least two miles each day - for fitness, fresh air and better balance.

  7. Great quote by Robin Williams!!

    And such a beautiful horse. Is he not impressed about having the reins put on? What a tantrum :)

    Riding twice a day would be fantastic. Can I live vicariously through you?
