In sad car news, it lasted four days before lots of error lights went on. It has been returned and I await the refund. Thus ends my bad car history. Added to my cancelled COVID holiday etc it seems I'm not destined for nice things.
I'm going back to walking and getting the bus. It's cheaper and stops frivolous trips.
... or getting someone in to work with you for a day a week as I did last November. He's now with me three days a week and its been a game changer for putting the fun back in my farming. Works hard a good to chat with as we go, I save all the shitty or two person jobs for when he's with me. Made such a difference. I'm having my first proper family holiday in five years this week!
Ah, gwan ~ you deserve a frivol, surely?
The words on the ring in the fable read: This too shall pass.
You are right Chris to some extent but here’s a cautionary tale.Wasn't it that US president, John F Kennedy, said to ask not what my country can do for me but what can I do for my country? I know that JFK turned out to be quite a naughty boy, but I suppose that his quote is still worth contemplating and giving some serious thought.
When the light is disappearing from our lives and we see only dark days ahead, whilst the black dog of depression is snapping at our heels, are thoughts of me, mine, self, and ours counterproductive to progressing onto brighter days and focusing on you, yours, and theirs could greatly assist us in outrunning the big bad black dog?
Not preaching but thinking out loud and wondering how I can better shift my focus onto serving others and also develop an improved attitude of gratitude.
I do hope that our visitors notice that the sun never sets on TFF and the light is never turned off.
Chris
Horses and pets of different kinds are a massive drain on folks resources yet often the last thing to go or the thing that finally sinks the ship.
