Gratitude creates it’s own attitude. It can give you a new perspective, a new focus. I am going to use this day as my opportunity to see those things.
Only two weeks until I head up the hill to do the last set up for the SMR meeting. I am very thankful for all the work that Amy Jo and Sally have put in so far to get ready for it. The long house now has a lovely metal roof, in case it rains during the business meeting. And we will have a round pen for demos and working horses. I have to say that it is a little hard to concentrate on much else. I’m really looking forward to meeting people that I’ve met online. Putting faces to names and friendships already started. And, of course, spending time with those I know and have not seen for a year or more.
I am grateful for the sun shining down through the maples in my front yard. They remind me of my childhood home in the Catskills. My truck bed ended up filled with the little fluttery seed wings. It was so much fun to see the piles of them as I swept them out. I love the small moments like this that bring small joys that grow to large ones.
And… one reason that I am late to post my Thankful Thursday … Paisano has another son! Mare (Dove Tree’s Marcha de la Luna) and baby are healthy and doing well. Photos are from his owner, Patty Vandiver in Sisters. Now we are just waiting on Lily in about a month or so.
I think that he may end up black, but won't know for a while.
It looks like has has 4 stockings and might have appy traits too.
Take a few minutes today to create your own Thankful Thursday.
How:
Sit back and consider what you have to be thankful for. Listing three to five things is nice, but one will do.
Post about gratitude on your blog. If you don’t have your own blog, go ahead and write about what you are thankful for in the comments here instead.
If you blog, please link back here or leave a comment.
Feel free to tag other bloggers, if you like to do that, but it’s not necessary. This is not a meme that obligates you to do anything, but look for gratitude. Oh, and link back, and comment, that’s all I ask.

GORGEOUS! Congratulations!
Thanks! He owner is trying to come up with a name now. Any ideas?
I love the name Dove – that is what I wanted to name Flo after she arrived and we had the bird incident with Dr. Mosier. But her blindness kept her name Flo, and I am glad it did. I just think the name Dove signifies so much beauty, purity, and peace. He looks like a Dove. He is absolutely beautiful. Has Patty said anything about his nature?
I think Lily might just have to name her own baby. ; )
