Living in the moment. I so agree. I love what you have to say about your grandmother. What a good example.

I am so very sorry about your friend. You have much reason to be thinking about life and what it means to you right now. I hope you can find comfort in your other friends, family and in the soft necks of your horses. Virtual hugs from me.

Some of it I think is the power of thinking positively and focusing on the positive as much as possible and some of it is trying to live ‘in the moment’ the way most animals do. It’s much harder for us to do that as humans because we tend to dwell on mistakes and things that we see as injurious to us; and I’m reminded of this not just with my animals; but my grandmother as well. She’s lost pretty much all of her short term memory and her long term memory is ok; but not what it used to be either so she really is totally in the moment. It’s gone past the point of being scary for her so now she may argue about stuff now and again but for the most part she’s become more of what she’s always been – a very cheerful good hearted person. I occasionally wonder what would have been had this happened to my other grandmother who

was always negative; but Grandma Sylvia seems to be in a good spot now.

I try to remember to that every time I get frustrated – I really don’t want to be a negative person and have only that left at the end.

Sorry if I’m sounding maudlin today, one of my best friends passed away from complications from cancer yesterday but he definitely would want us all to be focusing on the positive.

I am friends with Jane Savoi on Facebook and a member of her training page. She is a wonderful person and does a lot with the mind and the spirit of the horse and the rider. I got my message from Moshi her horse and the message from her little puppy. I love what they have to say. I thought I would share it. Even though you are all not dressage riders,( Sherry you are), it is still a message that can help all of us. I am working very hard on keeping positive and not dwelling in negative. Making that concious choice Nell is also working on it with her therapist and her at here at home. Jeff works on it with his clients and his own coach. It is harder than we think. Sometimes you have to do it a thousand times a day. Negativity can creeps in, in the most subtle of ways.

Read this. It is great.

hugs,

Sue

Jane is right when she says Attitude is a Choice. Sometimes I choose to be cranky and not do what I know I should be doing. Other times I'm so into the joy of the work that I do my very best to please Jane and to please myself. Either way, it is my CHOICE.

Knowing that you choose your attitude, what do you choose for today? Do you want to be cranky? That's okay. We all have days like that. But if you want to feel good, I suggest you decide to do just that. It's not hard. Just decide and let the momentum of that decision carry you.

I hear your horse calling to you! Get going to the barn! You have some choices to make!

Love, Moshi

I got in trouble today. I chewed something I shouldn't have. It hurt my feelings when Jane corrected me. But it didn't last long. I NEVER focus on the negative. I know Jane loves me even when I've done something "naughty".

So, I decided to let go of my hurt feelings and focus instead on the love Jane sends my way. It makes life much more enjoyable.

What feelings from the past could you let go of today so your life is more enjoyable? You can choose!

Love, Indy

Thankyou so much Sue.  I met up with another old friend last night and we spent alot of time talking about stuff in general and about Tucker and all the funnymemories we have of him.  We’ll be having a memorial service at some point whenthe weather warms up (and his wife can figure out which end is up) and I’m sureit’s going to be much more of a party than a quiet, staid affair.Sherryin sunny NJ From: [mailto: ] OnBehalf Of UrbanczykSent: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 2:58 PM Subject: RE: Re: a good message for all/Sherry Living in the moment.
