Re: Time to Let Go.



<NancyD.LMT@xxxxxxxxx>
I'm not sure how I'll feel about this once it's done. But I'm OK
about it now.

It's the right thing. I was heartbroken without my Mouse for a good month.
After about a month, I went for a visit. When I saw how content she was and
how much they adored her I was able to completely let go and walk away. I
have no real burning desire to visit or drive by to spy on her.

The best thing, when you don't have your own horses, is that you get to ride
other people's horses! Horses that you didn't have time for before because
you were mucking stalls, stacking hay, mending fence or dragging the ring
.... ... You show up, the horses are ready, you ride and they even want to
pay you to do it! Heh.

You're in better shape than I was. You'll be fine. I know it.
