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.
