Sometimes peace and joy just takes a little horse sense

SOMETIMES PEACE AND JOY IS JUST GOOD  HORSE SENSE


So today’s post isn’t going to be very long for a couple reasons.  First, I have a lot of  things to “work” on  this morning and need to do some follow up things from yesterday.  You know life has a flow and sometimes  you just need to  get in synch with it if possible.  


Well here goes..”in no particular order.”  That phrase always  intrigues  me a bit.  For the words that follow it come out in a particular  order.   The next sentence is  not usually something  like  House the  into ran fast could as Sally.  You see there is a particular order to most thoughts and words.  Lately, I have been thinking  about my rambling style and have  decided  to clean it up a bit for the reader’s sake (but not too much).  

Okay getting to the two points here.  I read this quote yesterday and put it on Facebook with a photo.  It’s Mark Twain’s  quote but I like it a whole  lot because I have said a few things lately that haven’t  rolled  that smoothly off my tongue.  

“The difference between almost using the right word and using the right words only  the difference  between a lightening  bee and a lightening bolt.”  

Next I say a picture of a friend with some Clydesdale horses.   \Now these are magnificent  animals, impressive  it seems in size, choice of corporate beer to be associated with, and  a reminder that big can be beautiful.   Anyway  this picture reminded me of  a saying that a professor of mine once used when I asked  about his unwillingness to fight a committee decision.  He sai …”Well Jim  it’s a funny thing about  committees…they are kind of like  horses.  They are almost impossible to push so it’s better to lead them if you can.  However sometimes  you get further if you ride the horse the way it’s running.”  


well sometimes we would like  our lives to be different from what they are and sometimes we know that if we could get beyond just one horses \\ rear end so to speak, things would improve. Well maybe you can use the horse sense offered above.  try to lead ornever be afraid to take a chance on riding the horse the way it is running.  From time to time there is more peace and joy somewhere  down the dusty trail… which is where I need to get my day headed.

Thank each and everyone of you for reading loyally and if your aren’t reading loyally pass this link on  to someone  who might  enjoy it or if  you don’t like them so much pass it along to someone  who  you like to irritate.  Either way have a terrific Tuesday and  THANKS TO EACH  OF YOU  READING THIS.
