I haven’t posted much lately, and honestly, I’ve just been burnt out. Not with the horses, but with life in general. Sometimes it feels like you spend so much time trying to keep up with everything that you forget to stop and breathe for a minute.
Last weekend, I was working hard on the house while Zach was out in the field getting hay. I happened to look up and see all the horses grazing up on the hill, just doing what horses do. No big moment, no beautiful picture planned, just a little glimpse of life happening around me.
And for a minute, everything felt okay.
The stress, the never-ending to-do list, the things I’ve been worrying about, and all the little pieces of life that have felt overwhelming lately seemed to quiet down. I felt this wave of relief wash over me, like a little reminder that maybe things aren’t as bad as they feel sometimes. Maybe I’m going to get through this season, too.
Now, that feeling didn’t last forever. Life came right back around with its worries and responsibilities, because that’s just how it goes. But for that one little moment, standing there looking up at those horses, I could breathe a little easier.
I think sometimes we get so caught up in trying to make everything okay that we forget there are already little pieces of okay right in front of us.
The house will get finished. The work will get done. The plans will come together in their own time. And some days, just seeing the horses grazing on the hill is enough to remind me that I don’t have to have it all figured out today.
It’s a silly little thing, I know. But it meant a lot to me in that moment.
If you’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed lately, I hope you find your own little moment on the hill. Something that makes you stop, take a breath, and remember that even when life feels heavy, there is still so much good right in front of you.
It will be okay. Maybe not all at once, and maybe not exactly how we planned, but it will be. ❤️
