Saw the first robins of spring two days ago and the first crocus blossoms in my garden, it's been sunny, rained all night last night, and it's looking to be a partly cloudy day today. Amazing how my motivation goes UP when the weather is more spring-like.

It also helps that my neighbours helped me pull my truck out of where it was stuck yesterday and I put insurance on it for 7 months. I HAVE WHEELS!!! It was an adventure, and a fun one, at that - but we finally got it started, I drove to town and MAN does that improve a girl's outlook on life, let me tell you. I love my truck.

Horsemanship has been going well - read my horsemanship journal if you want more info, and other things are looking up, too. Had a long talk with Matthew about stuff, and he discovered what his process is when he starts to snap back - I think it's a great step in the right direction and we WILL work through it. He really can surprise me with the amazing amount of effort that he puts in.

Matthew's mom gave me the book "The Secret" for my birthday. It's kind of ironic because I ordered "The Secret" DVD for her for Christmas, but it didn't arrive in time to give it to her. I'll bring it for her this weekend. The book has more detail on the "how to" than the DVD had and I've been putting in to effect some of the techniques of an "attitude of gratitude" as well as being thankful for "having it now". Really changes your outlook on life when you notice something that you're kind of happy about and actually acknolwedge it - and look for the good things in everytyhing. I feel so powerful today. I just intend things to be easy and fun - like cleaning the house, and you know what? It happens! Easily. And it's fun. That is really, REALLY sweet.

Today is a busy day, lots to do before Sarah comes tomorrow and we head out to Vancouver. My plan is to throw more mugs, do some other stuff, like go to town for feed, etc and then come back and trim and handle the mugs from the other day. I also have some more clean up to do, but I'm happy about that because it's going to be so fun and easy with my new attitude of gratitude.
