Life sometimes allows you the opportunity to create 800 excuses on why you can't stop and do something just for yourself. But it also, if you're lucky enough, will give you a best friend who will call you on them 900 times, and still love you. Today my best friend called me on my never-ending list of things to accomplish. She reminded me that the list won't ever be completed, and it's okay to pursue something just for yourself, even if it's only for a few minutes. So, I saddled up my boy. Truth be told, he hasn't been ridden in months. I was expecting the unexpected. It's been a year since I've ridden him outside, at least twice that long since I committed to riding daily. Life just seems to get busier, and well, Indy just keeps waiting at the gate. My heart and soul were at complete peace for the first time in a long while.
It definitely has been an uphill battle the past few days. I'd say God was testing my resolve, my compassion, my grace and my understanding. For reasons I may never know. When life throws you lemons, yes, you can make lemonade. Or perhaps, you can make a pie and invite the one who threw them over and ask why. -I'm not saying I will extend that grace to everyone, some have burnt that bridge, and I danced as it fell into the abyss, never to be rebuilt. But every now and again, kindness wins out.
So, I'll leave you with, maybe that's the whole point when life gets tough. Maybe, you're supposed to learn to offer grace, how to walk away, or how to make a pie. But if all else fails, burn that bridge, dance as it falls and start anew. You were made for greatness.
