I took my horses for a gallop out in the field yesterday because clearly they are frustrated with their training (trotting in the dusty ring for 40 minutes to build muscle tone). They got a kick out of it! :) literally- kicking up their heels and ears perked. Some times monotony is a mind killer in horses. Sometimes they just need to "horse" more and "human" less. But ya know what? I AM FRUSTRATED. I am sick of doing the same thing every day. Of waking up and knowing exactly what I will do at exactly what time- and finding no surprises in my everyday life. I want to "human" more. I feel like a machine. I am going through motions: 7 am alarm. Husband calls between 7:10 and 7:20 to make sure I'm up for the day. Get up. Poop. (Threw that in there for the laugh effect.) Eat. Walk dog. Prep lunch & dinner. Get dressed (including doing hair). Pack riding bag. Commute. Sit at desk...
