~ Bear and Abbey ~
It’s been two years since my beautiful horse, Bear, died so unexpectedly. Where does the time go? Memories like that depicted in this photo remind me of his gentleness. He and Abbey were such good friends. She really missed him for a while, but over time has transferred her affections to my mare, Sophia. Animals are so adaptable. We could learn a thing or two from them, I think.
It’s also been too long since my last post. Life unfolds, and unfolds, and unfolds and sometimes the unfolding is so involved it’s difficult for the Muse to get a word in edgewise. Still, I’m hoping things will settle down soon so I can get back to putting pen to paper, as it were.
In the meantime, I’ll leave you with this …
“Real transformation begins when you embrace your problems as agents of growth.”

As always, nurture what you love,

Musings of a Horse Mom 
Nice to see you post again. Four weeks ago I lost my 14-year-old four-legged best friend – my shadow. Words can’t express the pain of loss. Your Bear was a special friend and I am sure you still miss him greatly. Time just lessens the pain but doesn’t heal it. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
So sorry for your loss, Sheila. It is tough to lose them. They become so much a part of our lives in so many ways. Please take care of yourself during this difficult transition.
