WOW! Time flies ever faster these days. It always amazes me to turn the pages of the calendar, and to change the date stamp where I work.
In fact, time goes by so quickly, that I am really learning this year to make my priorities ahead of time and stick with them. Otherwise, my days get filled with a lot of little details, and I lose sight of the big picture.
What I mean here is that my horses are my life. They are my main passion, my main focus. Yet I often skip riding because I am too busy - putting away laundry, or splitting firewood, or doing paperwork.
I have to learn to set time for my horses, and to stick with it. After all, without the horses, virtually everything else I do is pointless! Why volunteer for a horse club without a horse? Why do the farm books if we don't farm? You get the picture!

So I guess what I'm saying here is that my New Year?s Resolution for 2002 is to make time for my horses, rather than try to fit them in. Take care of the big priorities in your life, and the details will have to fit around them.
And if the dishes go unwashed tonight, or I only vacuum once this week, so be it - I'm going riding instead! For that matter, maybe I ought to hire a housekeeper...
Till next week,
~ Kristi :)
