Having had my own brushes with mortality, I totally agree with you about how I should be spending some time. I agree, I just don't always get it right:) The Dancing Donkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274299120708749101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-6039891743860240872013-04-07T22:59:17.998-04:002013-04-07T22:59:17.998-04:00There are probably people who keep donkeys in Alas...There are probably people who keep donkeys in Alaska, there must be right?

The weather has been really crappy, re...I hear you. The weather has been really crappy, relentless wind is right - it's horrible and same thing every day with dark over cast skies and the wind is cold - it wears on you. It's been a long time since we had some nice weather and that absolutely gets you feel less motivated and just down. I've been feeling that too. I'm hoping soon the sun will come back out and the darned wind will go away- you'll feel better and more motivated once it does. So just be good to yourself and try and wait it out. That's what I keep telling myself too!luckybunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663313808544386765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-67955657361679777342013-04-06T12:06:03.347-04:002013-04-06T12:06:03.347-04:00Hang in there, Kris and I agree with everyone who ...Hang in there, Kris and I agree with everyone who recommends being kind and gentle with yourself! It has been a stressful winter for sure. You pulled Ramsey through though, along with Emma (remember the worry before she foaled?)

Since I moved to WY, by the end of winter I am feeling pretty crappy physically most of the time. It takes most of summer to get over it, but eventually I do. It is almost like flu like symptoms for me that hit me every afternoon. If I go out side and sit in the sun for a while, I start feeling better. I used to think it was all in my head, but now I know that it isn't<br />I can relate to your long list and it sounds like you are a little overwhelmed. Who wouldn't be? Not only are you doing these things on your own, but you just spent a good amount of time and energy rehabbing the cutest little donkey in the world. Give your self a break dear. Its ok to just want to relax a little. I have a feeling that pretty soon you will start feeling rejuvenated and ready to tackle the world again! <br />:-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617546413512282387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-26421811630922027672013-04-05T09:34:36.102-04:002013-04-05T09:34:36.102-04:00Just remember the sun screen and bask in the rays....Just remember the sun screen and bask in the rays. Don't worry, you'll get going - probably with one little task that will snowball into many. <br /><br />Wish I could come and sit with you and your herd in the spring sunshine! <br />I wonder if people keep donkeys in Alaska? brrrrBow Street Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874441825073852758noreply@blogger.com
