I like so many quotes- but there are some in particular that have more of a personal relation to me and help me cheer up and put a smile back on my face!!!
''To get the rainbow, you gotta go through all the rain'' - I believe this is said by Dolly Parton- it's amazing that these eleven words on a computer screen or a piece of paper, can have such a profound influence on my journey with Shadow- our journey and it reminds me of how lucky I am to have him as a friend and a teacher.
''When life knocks you down, you have the choice of getting back up.'' This quote is something which sticks in my mind. I've been knocked down so many times and most of the time it's my fault, but instead of whining about the problems I have, I am going to learn to get back up and solve them- try again, what do I have to lose? Complaining doesn't seem to resolve my problems, but trying my hardest to solve them does- I've learnt that crying and whinging about how hard my life is, isn't always going to be the best solution. I've learnt from my mistakes and they are no longer problems, but are just incidents that occurred on my journey- showed me what not to do and how not to do it, and it's helped shape my path.
''As one door of happiness closes, another one opens''
Shayden was and still is a very special pony to me- I messed up and spent too long pretending that Shadow was Shayden, I thought he replaced him and I thought he was going to be Shayden- he's not Shayden and he's not like Shayden was, but then Shadow has been, ultimately a wonderful experience, if not better, whilst I don't get the riding training like I could of, I've got this little 14.2 piebald pony who is wonderful in all aspects- he is a friend and a teacher and has picked me up when I've fallen and I owe it to him that no matter what happens, what ditches we fall on, what wrong paths we take- we will get back up and we will remember that I will be with him, every step of the way.
I love Shadow lots :)
