Best Buddies

 

I was sent a picture of my girl and her new best buddy, waiting for breakfast this morning. She has become quite comfortable in her new place and is very happy to be in with other horses. The bonding between these two has been amazing. 

To think the first day, Nova was very upset that a new horse had entered her domain, expressing her feelings by bucking and back kicking between them. Now they are inseparable. 

She's shedding out really well. I can rub her and have the hairs fall out. - lol - We've done about 5-6 total brush outs and left the field full of pony fuzz for the birds. She's starting to look like a horse and not so much a wooly mammoth! 

Her beautiful chestnut fur is starting to come in and looking good as usual. I can't wait until she's fully shedded and the weather is warm enough for the first spring bathe! She's so beautiful, it's hard to believe she's turning 28 this year. She still acts like she's a teenager {maybe 15-16}. 

I firmly believe that the more times a horse changes owners, they lose years off of their life. My girl has only had 2 owners. Her original owner - where she was born - and ME. I've seen so many younger horses look so much older and have so many health problems. Their history is of multiple owners and frequent changes in ownership, I strongly believe contributes to the decline in their health. 

Horses, dogs, cats and any other 'pet' are like children. They are part of your family and should be for their entire life. You wouldn't sell your kids when they become older or disabled. Why would you get rid of your animals?

It Takes TWO

 It's really hard to talk to someone, that shuts down, changes the subject, goes and takes a nap or straight up ignores the subject.

"She yells at me" - Take responsibility for your actions

and stop ignoring her and blaming her for them ~

Then maybe she wouldn't yell at you.

Stop procrastinating and do the right thing before it's too late!

Maybe then she wouldn't be pushing you before you lose everything.

"I don't want to talk about that" - "Why you always bringing that up?"

Um.. because it's unresolved and needs dealt with?

And they all wonder why you are the way you are.?
I personally feel sorry for you, not them.
It's mental abuse what they are doing to you.
Pack your bags and walk away!
Let everyone think they are the victim; we know the truth.

This explains it better than I ever could. I was told someone sounded like a narcissist. I didn't know what that meant exactly. So, I asked a couple folks. They gave me this

All I could say was WOW! That explains a lot in my world.

I once told a therapist that I feel like I'm the monster, everyone thinks I'm the bad guy.

Therapist told me, I'm in a reactive state to what has happened to me. I didn't make myself that way, I was forced into it to survive.

Survive

That's what my life boils down to....

I've had to survive, not thrive.

It's pathetic when you think about it. Years of 'I forgot' when it comes to your birthday or an anniversary. Not giving a damn about how YOU feel about something, just doing things their own way no matter who it hurts.

Always being put down and pushed back.

No respect.

Taking credit for your good deeds and blaming you for their mistakes.

"I should just kill myself" when they don't get their way or things are not going the way they want them to. They make you want to kill yourself just to get away from it, because you don't see any way out! {Sadly, I had a friend that did just that to get away from someone} I've felt the same way many times. Like death is the only way to get away from the situation.

Especially when people feel sorry for them and not you. You wish just once someone would see your pain. "Why is she such a bitch". {I've heard that said about so many woman friends.} Well, if you knew the truth about how the asshole treats her, when nobody is around, you might understand why after all these years she's a bitch.

You just have to break down and be the bad guy

- WALK AWAY - SAVE YOURSELF -

because they are never going to change, and they are never going to do right by you. They only think about themselves, and they don't care who it hurts.

They turn everyone against you - so really - you have nothing left to lose -

It's time for you to think about YOURSELF - WALK AWAY -

Blessed by God

Life's going to be better after the resurrection!
