​So the world is sideways right now!  This Coronavirus Pandemic has everything turned upside down.  Here in Pennsylvania, all life-sustaining businesses are shut down.  What does that mean? That means I can go to the barn to take care of the horses but I can’t do anything that generates cash flow for my business.  So things are going to get interesting.

Everyone is experiencing their own personal stress in this current situation.  People can’t work.  Kids are being home schooled. People are worried about catching this illness or giving it to loved ones.  Many are like me and now have no income and are trying to figure out how to pay their bills. Bottom line, anyone with a brain in their head is stressed.

I have been trying to post something helpful every morning on my facebook page.  Today I want you to think about practicing gratitude!  Yes, in this difficult time, I want you to think about what you are grateful for!

Please read the article I have linked to here. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/what-mentally-strong-people-dont-do/201504/7-scientifically-proven-benefits-gratitude Then come back and make comments about what you are grateful for.  Every day on my facebook page I will be posting something I am grateful for and I want you to respond what you are grateful for in the comments and on your own page #practicegratitude #getthroughcorona

Please share this blog post so others can do this too.

It doesn’t have to be anything big.  It can be the simplest of things.  Maybe there was a beautiful sunrise or sunset.  Maybe you are grateful for your sense of humor or your positive attitude.  You might be grateful to still have a job or having time with your kids while they are home from school.
Being grateful for even the smallest of things can lower your stress, help you sleep and overall improve your mood…so let’s do this.  Let’s find things to be grateful for!
 
I will start. 
I am grateful for myself and everyone I know not having COVID-19 at this moment
What are you grateful for?

Mother’s Day is coming!
That means people will be trying to figure out what to get their Mom’s.  It’s hard to decide sometimes.  I often hear from my fellow equestrians, that are Moms, that they wish they had gotten__________.  You fill in the blank.  Or this year, I wish I would get __________.

But the truth is, that non horsey people don’t always know what to get horsey people.  We are a strange breed afterall!

So, let’s make it easier for them and come up with a list of Mother’s Day gifts that we equestrians would want! So, in the comments section, tell me what you would want for Mother’s Day.  I will compile a list of say "The Top 10 things Equestrians Want for Mother’s Day". Then we can circulate it.

If you don’t want to comment here, message me.  And feel free to share this blog post.  The more input the better! It will be interesting reading what everyone wants!  Let's have some fun!
