The denial the first time the idea pops in your head, the self-doubt when the idea keeps resurfacing, the heartbreak when you start to figure out that this is the right thing, the freedom in admitting it out loud, the pain of realizing that you've become a different person...grown, sure, but your dreams are different...<br /><br />It sucks and it doesn't stop sucking, but I truly believe, at least in my case, that I made the right decision...and I'm sure you know that you did to. Neither of us is the same as when those special mares entered our lives, and that is probably the hardest part of it all. But that's okay. We grow, we change, we dream bigger and become better people. It's all part of the journey. We owe it to the horses to always make sure they have the best life possible, but we also owe that same thing to ourselves.<br /><br />*Hugs* girl!

Even horses I don't really like or have a bond with its super hard. And ya its always what if? But sounds like a good home and nice to keep in contact and the buy back is perfect. You are enjoying your family and your horses. There really is no right or wrong. I hope you find some peace with your choice.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18035210092855895218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029118492029130864.post-85753001960423191832015-03-24T14:04:15.537-07:002015-03-24T14:04:15.537-07:00Oh you're so right about guilt being evil as i...Oh you're so right about guilt being evil as it does not come from rationality, or even good sense, but from some outside source intent on causing us to feel pain. Easier said than done, but please let it go!! Luna came into your life when you needed her. She taught you some valuable lessons, and you in turn, also gave her a concrete foundation. What a gift!!! For both of you. In life, there are so many "seasons" that we're given to experience, learn, enjoy. Some stay longer than others, but everything "comes to pass". Everything! If you didn't grieve that she's gone, then you mustn't have loved her very much, but because you cry for her now, means you did love her, and that is a beautiful, wonderful thing. It's ok to cry, but you did your very best with her when you had her, you did your very best to place her in a fantastic, loving home and with a new family who will love her as you did. She will continue on and has lessons for them as well. Take comfort knowing you did your BEST with Luna! That, in the end, is the best any of us can hope for. I wish I could give you a big old hug because I know EXACTLY how you feel, and how you grieve. I've been there, and I have those same over-analyzing thoughts and sentimental emotions that you have. I'm learning to appreciate that when I love much, sometimes I hurt more than some do, as well. I (and maybe you too) was created that way. :) So...trust and have faith, that most of what (and who) happens in our lives, happens for very good reasons.

The constant guilt when I'm with the horses and away from my son and then the guilt of not working with the horses when I'm with my son (or the guilt of being away from both son and horses while at work). It's a never ending battle, so I definitely feel your pain. And now that we have a toddler, we're expecting the next little one to arrive, which means even more guilt and trying to figure out how to juggle even more. <br /><br />I wish there were words of wisdom that I could share. Just know that you're not the only one. We are in the same boat. :-)Borderlands Horse Sanctuaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233839642009348134noreply@blogger.com
