Odds and Ends

My grandmother, who has been on hospice care for the past several months, passed away yesterday morning. It was peaceful and at home, so things couldn't have been better for her. (Lest I sound callous, I blogged about it here.)

I have a lot to think about now--the time I was spending with grandma is now open, I guess. That leaves room for something, but I don't know what. I don't really feel like thinking about it right now.

A friend was out riding with Izzy and I today (and Izzy was being a doll), so to cool out, we took the horses out of the arena and just wandered around. It wasn't a trail ride, but maybe a "trail ride". They were both great, and it was really what I needed. Things will work out somehow. We'll figure it out.

  2. My condolences. Horses are the best therapy for all of life's ills. Sometimes you just need a mane to cry in.

    Re your previous post, I hope you don't take on too much work and get the situation you want soon. Good for you for sticking to your guns.

  5. So aorry about your Grandma, but it does sound as if it was peaceful. I know you spent a lot of time with her, so that was a blessing and a gift you can treasure.

    Take your time in deciding what to do with all the "new" time. Give yourself a break, time to grieve, and time to let your heart heal. *hugs*

  10. Aw, thinking of you, girl. :-) These things are never easy, but we somehow get through them -- and horses certainly help with that process. I hope things will be looking up for you soon.
