Find Time for Treats, a horse wisdom blog.

The farrier came yesterday and I used my

treat bag to make the experience a bit

more pleasant.

The senior mare, my heart horse, was all

about the treats and it was so good

to see her asking for more.

Likewise, the other horses were very interested in

treats and everyone took the time to savor

the bounty of the moment.

How often do you make time and then

savor the treats that you receive?

Internet memes tell us you deserve good things

and it's true, we all do.

And yet, when those good things happen, we

tend to try to rush through them.

We need to get back to work, get

back to doing something productive, and that's if

we make time for treats, you know, those

good things at all.

Sometimes making time for the treats is the

most difficult part of enjoying them.

I think that's why the ritual of morning

coffee is so important to so many people,

myself included.

If you don't use an automatic timer on

your coffee machine, then you pause, take the

time to prepare, fill, and start the coffee

maker.

Then, when the cup or carafe fills and

you finally get that full mug, you'll add

whatever creamers or flavorings you want.

Then, there's that first sip.

Ah, even though you know what to expect,

I mean, most of us make the same

or similar coffees every morning and a lot

of us have our favorite brands, then there's

still the moment the aroma fills your nostrils

and the taste hits your tongue.

The experience can be the thing that makes

it worthwhile to get out of bed in

the morning.

I mean, sure, there are other reasons, but

also there's coffee.

The horses aren't in the position to go

seek out their treats.

They have to wait for the treats to

come to them, and the wild horses might

find an especially good patch of grass or

favorite browse, and that might happen in the

pasture, too.

What that reminds us is that we need

to be on the lookout for any particular

good things that come our way and savor

them.

Too often, we feel that we shouldn't experience

good things and that maybe we're grieving or

there are stories that we internalize from others

that we don't get good things, and yet

that is exactly the time when we most

likely need them the most.

I encourage you, both this weekend and into

next week, to find times when you can

make time for treats, and if you're grieving

or wondering whether you should be enjoying good

things, I encourage you to reach out.

Let's talk about grief coaching or how wild

spirit storytelling can help you.
