Good Horses to Ride

As another year draws to a close in the crazy old life, I hope that you had time to enjoy the holidays in festive style with those you love.  Now, it's almost time for that "new year, new me" nonsense, and I don't know about the rest of you, but my new year's resolutions last about as long as the attention span of my two cocaine-snortin', squirrel chasin' border collies.  So, I am going to give up the list making, the lofty weight loss goals, the money saving tips and just live my life. Simply, just live my life in the year to come and reflect back on all I was lucky enough to have this past year. May your year ahead be filled with all you need, and you find yourself just where you wish to be doing exactly what you desire to do.

Good Horses to Ride

Well my friends, it's another day, another dollar

Another milestone crossed in this life

I may not be just where I want to be

But, at least I have a good horse to ride.

Life was trying at times this past year,

Sometimes it felt like I was trekking the Great Divide

But, you see, these were just lessons learned

And I always had a good horse to ride.

Tears came and went on the back of my trusty steed,

As I pondered all of life's crazy strife.

And as we slow-loped through the worries and cares

I was never more thankful for my good horse to ride.

The time in the saddle was always well spent

It signified a peaceful state of mind.

Whether climbing mountain trails or pushing cows home

I always had a good horse to ride.

I spent time with friends, old and new,

Exploring the wilderness and new countryside

Miles upon miles of trails we trekked,

And all of 'em on good horses to ride.

As this year draws to an end

And I reflect back on it all in stride

I realize I have so much to be grateful for

But I'm most grateful for the good horse I ride.

So, may your new trails ahead lead you safely home

May you give it your all in this crazy life.

But above all else, my new year's wish for you

Is that you always have good horses to ride.

Happy Trails ~ Heather
