Horses (and Michele) are wonderful

I had the great pleasure of meeting some horses yesterday. I met JB, Cori and Humpries. JB is a beautiful brown horse with black mane and tail. He stood very still while I brushed him down and tried to detangled his mane. He muzzle is soooo soft - its amazing. I thought he looked really well and it was the first time that i couldnt see his ribs. I met his best friend Cori who is a beautiful black and white horse. We brushed him outside while at the same time he was determined to say hello to his friend Megan - who was also being brushed outside. Cori is a fab horse with lots of spirit (as is JB). I really enjoyed brushing them and being with them - i found it very soothing and i was delighted not to be afraid of them at all. Poor Humpries had the unpleasant task of taking me for a walk. He stood patiently while i kneed him in the back as i clampered over him. i later found out that one is not allowed to knee horses in the back. Then he took really good care of me as Michele kindly lead us around the arena and the field. I ahve to say that i really enjoyed the day and i look forward to my next outing, trying my hand at grooming and riding. Many thanks to the wonderful Michele for her patience and kindness yesterday.

The little things...

I just want to say how great God is and how good he is to me. Some people may laugh at my little examples of Gods greatest - but I dont care. It is often said (i think) that the little things in life matter and helping people in the little things show that you care. Let me give you some examples of how God has helped me over the last couple of days: - 1) I went shopping last night and I love baked potatoes. Normally on a Monday evening there isnt any left, so I said a very quick prayer that there would be some and also some nice veg to go with them - and guess what there was not only spuds but the veg as well. 2) I have a very bad habit of leaving my car in a pay zone and not paying enough for the parking. Each evening as i leave work I promise a mass for the holy souls that my car isnt clamped. Since i have started this practice i havent been clamped. Please note that i have turned a new leaf and am leaving the car at home. Today the clampers were around - my car was at home. 3) This morning after mass I drove to the road i usual park on in order to get the Luas to work. Normally at 8.00 the spaces are a relatively long walk away - ie 5ish mins as opposed to 2 mins (and uphill in the evenings). I said a little prayer that i would get parking close and i did.
These a very small examples of the glory of God - how good He is me. I love it when i recognise his gentle touch in my day as then I know that He is watching me and looking after me. I am looking forward to meeting Him face to face ( after many years of purifying) in order to express my gratitude for His kindness. I feel so sorry for all the poor people who dont know Him.

MUNGO

Mungo - i just want to say that you are the greatest. I cant wait for your next book and maybe i will have the great honour of meeting you face to face. I love you MungsXXXXX

Get well soon VT.

I am a bit embarrassed about my Friday post - i have to spend more time planning my posts. Watch this space!!!!!

FRIDAY AFTERNOON

I have had a very brief unplanned plan from the thoughts - but now i am back for today anyway. I have suffering from a Friday afternoon slump - my thoughts are drifting towards the weekend - sleep, food, play and sleep. I cant seem to concentrate on my employment - and worse of all my post. Why are Friday afternoons so much quieter than all other parts of the week (i am not complaining). Why cant Friday afternoons go faster and why does the weekend go so fast? When I meet my guardian Angel i am going to ask him all these questions.

NO TIME

Every since i have come back from my adventure i feel like i am in a world of no time - no time to iron, no time to get my work done, no time to chill, no time to watch tv, no time to play with a cute little puppy, no time to read my ever growing mountain of unread books. If i had a magic wand - what would i do???? There are so many things i would like to do .... (Thank God i dont have a magic wand because i would probably misuse it.) Time can be strange - it is always now , yet people think about the past and the future - yet there is no such thing. I always think time travelling in movies is soo annoying - its not possible and they always mess up the time paradox. I know there is no time in Heaven - yet i cannot imagine what that is like. The same way i cannot understand how the universe is finite - i dont understand.. dont understand... cannot compute... cannot...... canno.......

Mungos competition

I cant wait to find out who is going to win Mungos competition. What a prize!!! Mungo is so great!!! I hope everyone is entering.
