Your review of last year's goals and this year's goals is inspiring- it takes courage to go back and revisit old goals! I like your mission statement for this year! You'll do great!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00141033474195269489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806296642977794691.post-57971890423894947702011-01-10T14:07:46.622-05:002011-01-10T14:07:46.622-05:00I think you did great with you 2010 goals.

Seeing when it's time to move on and doing it is smart and much safer when it comes to horses.<br /><br />I'm not really big on goals set in a timeframe because horses are a process and there are so many ways that process can be slowed down or altered in some way that affect outcome. Your mission statement makes much more sense to me.<br /><br /><br />Hope 2011 is all you want it to be.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806296642977794691.post-33082649859121764012011-01-09T12:37:42.219-05:002011-01-09T12:37:42.219-05:00Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry once famously said, ...Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry once famously said, "A man (or a woman) has got to know his limitations."

I can't say we are as cold as you here in Florida, but it still is way below normal and makes me mad that we came the whole way down here!<br />Don't worry to much about old goals. You are happy and Misty is happy and Marley is happy in his new home. They are the important goals. Be kind and look for funny things to laugh at. That is all you need to do with horses and the rest seems to fall into place, I think. I love the photo of Misty and SaraJane eating together.

May I adopt it too? Maybe we can get posters made and put the mission statement all over the place...just like at work - bleech! That's why I'm sweating!!<br />Well, maybe being in SC is contributing to the sweating thing - it is a bit warmer here than there!<br />I miss my guys and can't wait to get home, even if the temps are below 0! Miss my friends and neighbors, too!Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806296642977794691.post-53380365809453410212011-01-02T05:38:08.975-05:002011-01-02T05:38:08.975-05:00Sounds like a plan!
