Thanks Dr Laura and Dad

Dr Laura
I was thumbing through the channels in the van today and came across Dr. Laura who got a call from a women who's son was going into the military. She asked Dr Laura what to do with her fears about her childs safety. Dr Laura told her, "dont think about it"How do I do that? the Lady asked."Think about something else."Since Dr Laura has a boy in the service. She must head her own advice. So its real.But that is good advice. I think about stuff that upsets me. I used to do that as a little kid and get all messed up. I'd think about the saddest stuff a little kid could think about. And dad came down to comfort me and told me to replace my thought with happy thoughts about going fishing and being happy. So I did, and it helped.So I think I will take Dad and Dr Laura's advice once again, I've gotten off track. Instead of dwelling on problems, even troubleshooting I've got to trust that God will show me the answers and when thoughts get me messed up I need to think of something else.Dont think about it, Think about something else.God always comes through for me. No matter what problem comes up, Or how stumped I am, an answere always comes through. So I need to stop fretting about stuff, and when I do I need to stop thinking about it and think of someting else. The answer always comes. Like today when Sally was throwing her head in the air when I asked her to change leads. It came to me to work my hands and slide the bridle and sure enough it fixed the problem. I was so worried about if I could get her ready to show or not, and the answere is, probobly not the next show, but I know what to do to get her furthur towards the goal and I know how realistic the goal is. which is more than I knew yesterday. So it all worked out. and my big wreck in the showpen worked out for the best because I learned a valuable and lesson and improved myself and my skills and my horse.

Also, it worked good On Lindas horse which has plagued me with for two years with bad lead changes. Linda tried it on her, messagging the reins and it really helped the mare stay soft and change leads. So all of the fretting and stewing and struggling I've done and imposed on both these mares could have been softened a little if I'd been a little more patient and confident that the answer was on its way.
