I was at the barn tonight after a long day at work. I didnt have the energy to tack and begin training, so I just played a bit with Lakota and some long lines. I rigged up parts of an old harness and practiced a few moves. A friend told me a couple days ago that she read a trainer's tip. He said that working with your horse only 15 minutes a day was better than 2 hours twice a week. Makes sense to me.
Isnt our relationship like that? Doesnt our mate respond, seem happier and easier to get along with when we spend a few minutes every day expressing our affection and appreciation? If we only say, "I love you, or thank you, or I'm so glad you're here" on vacation or on special occasions, we wont have the consistency and intimacy we really desire. If everyday we could remember to take that 10-15 minutes to give gratitude to our love, what a wonderful life it would be. I know how it would make me feel - treasured.
