I'm Still Here

These past few weeks have been quite stressful. I ended up not going to the sorting clinic last weekend. Instead I took my brothers and I out of town to visit my grandfather whom is in the hospital. They found that he actually has lymphoma and they will be starting chemo very soon. We are praying he makes it through okay. My mother, aunt, and grandmother have been with him almost the whole time so I'm in charge of keeping the household afloat until they return. My life feels quite empty right now, after losing Wolfie and now having my grandfather in the hospital is almost too much for me to handle. I am just hoping that everything ends up okay...

As for Ava I rode a couple times but I'm just not feeling in the mood for it anymore. She is doing fine on her training and is basically doing everything I ask, it is just me that doesn't want to do any riding at the moment. I think I just need to stop riding for a couple weeks and just take a break, for some reason riding has also been taking a ton of energy out of me, more than it used to... Nothing is the same anymore and it is slowly driving me insane. My BO will be disappointed that I'm not riding for a while but I don't really give a crap what he thinks anymore..

Anyways, I hate to sound depressing all the time but things are hard right now. Hopefully with the weather getting nicer things will slowly start to turn around, we'll just have to see.

  1. With all that you have going on in your home life, it is not surprising that you are not motivated to ride. Although sometimes, skipping the riding part and just spending time with our horses can help us get through depression.
    There is a good amount of winter blah's going around too. I have it badly myself, and I know many others do to.
    Hang in there girl, you'll be ok.

    1. I definitely agree, winter (in my opinion) is one of the best ways to get down in the dumps. Thank you for your kind words.

  2. Sometimes you just need to sit back and focus on you. Your Grandpa will be in my thoughts, I hope he gets through everything ok. You have been through a lot of stress lately and it is only natural for you to feel the way you feel. Cindy is right, the winter really brings on the blahs. We all need a little sunshine in our lives. :)
