Re: not coping

I'm not religious either @outlander I'm just someone that through faith & trust I gained Spiritual insight & now know the truth that I can have a relationship which is real with our God & creator.
God is where my strength comes from He created us to love one another unconditionally He also gave us free will & that is why in this life things go wrong because the only way to know God is through trials as that's when our Spiritual muscles get a serious workout. Any relationship takes time to build if we think about it?
It's whether we want to take that time or we don't want to? For me personally I chose to as I found truth & I have been Spiritually sensitive since I was a tiny child who played with the animals that my parents owned in my back yard & I learnt so much from those animals & am still learning from animals believe it or not just by loving them with all my heart. Animals are easy to love sometimes people are not but through the unconditional love of animals I found the love of God & that's the truth. In the Bible in Genusis it's says, listen to the animals & they will teach you! Keep doing what your doing @outlander your animals are a gift from God just like mine are for me!!
My Love Always

Hi @Shaz51

In relation to the above,I believe in something but I have no faith in God,it's hard to believe in it.I like to think there's a heaven .

@outlander,went for a 12-14 I'm walk this morning,my left foot is stuffed,after giving you advice last night on your foot.Lol.

Re: not coping

@Shaz51

Got three spurs,one on each heel,one on top of l.f plus they have both got rhumatoid.When I don't walk they are fine,going forward walk agitates them.Get in the bath when I come back,they go bright red which apparently is inflammation.Had a x-ray on left one few weeks ago as I have to stop on walk constantly, especially going up hills,didn't get phone call from Doctor,but must make changes appointment this week,and see what the problems are,which I know.Doctor told me years ago I'd need fusion done which put fear in me and that's why I wanted an x-ray I was worried about the bone on top with the spur which is what I have pain in now.I was worried it was deteriorating.

And yes,most church people I met are big hypercrites,and the Minister who did the ceremony for my father's funeral was gaoled for child molestation two years ago over a number of years....Does turn you off.I think I have more morals.

Re: not coping

Thanks @Former-Member
Thats quite an insight and never thought of it like that. Its very true about how much animals cam tell tell is if we just listen to them.
My horse that i just had put down i could understand what she was saying now while they cant talk they can give their own signals and the looks in their eyes and faces can say alot whether they are sick or happy or whichever.

Hey @Shaz51 @Former-Member
So much for taking it easy today! I havent stopped!. I sat until 10am after cooking breakfast then got told to takr the kids out instead of sitting at home. So we travelled abit and went to look at a touristy town. Not much there but took up abit of time. Them we camr back toward our area and went to look at the rock pools and then i took them out for icecream and milkshakes. We came home for.lunch but about half hour including lunch and i was making horse feeds and going to do my own horse who i didnt see yesterday and was copping slack off because im not looking after well enough according to my friends.
And one of the part time.care horses.

I was hoping to have a day off today before my hectic week starts and recover from the last few days.
My foot is killing me from all that walking and again today. And i shouldn't have been driving today. It wasn't a good idea but i didnt have much choice. I nearly hit a car and zoned out so many times and while driving tonight i didnt have my bloody headlights on i did realise after i rounded a not so lit street.

Re: not coping

@outlander(,besides the foot which I have at the moment and the pain which you should've been off for) it's good you were busy and besides the near car miss.But I hope you get rest tonight.What do you think of your "Friends" opinion?That's the main thing .Only you know if you are/aren't looking after that animal.
