Perhaps a pause to reflect is in order

A neice sent this to me this morning and I thought it would fit into our lives---maybe more so at this particular time and in this particular forum. Substitute the horse with "whatever" !!!

When your day seems out of balance
And so many things go wrong...
When people fight around you
And the clock drags on so long...
When most folks act like children,
And fill you with remorse,
Go out into your pasture...
Wrap your arms around your horse.
His gentle breath enfolds you,
As he watches with those eyes
He may not have a PhD,
But he is, oh, so wise!
His head rests on your shoulder...
You embrace him good and tight;
He puts your world in balance,
And makes it seem all right.
Your tears will soon stop flowing,
The tension will be eased.
The nonsense has been lifted,
You are quiet and at peace.
So when you need some balance
From the stresses in your day...
The best therapy you can seek...
Is out there eating hay

Nice. I don't have a horse. Will a palm tree do? How about a stray cat?
Heck, I'll just hug myself.
Happy New Year.
