It is surely the becoming of a person…In passion, the body and spirit seek expression…The more extreme and the more expressed that passion is, the more unbearable does life seem without it. It reminds us that if passion dies or is denied, we are partly dead and ... http://janhare.com/blog3/2009/05/14/passiona-great-quote/ Reality Check OK, so I found a great property for us: 6.13 acres only a block for the barn where my horses are at. It was at an affordable price, on a quiet country road, and Kevin and I loved it. REALITY CHECK OK, so it wasn't the perfect property. It had potential. Unfortunately, I ... http://janhare.com/blog3/2009/05/14/reality-check/ Sigh of Relief Today I am recharging my batteries. The power is pretty low! Last night we had our big spring band concert. It went well...no one cried, fell off the platform, or fainted. Only a few instruments broke right before the concert (*insert big eye-rolling right here*). No matter how many excuses ... http://janhare.com/blog3/2009/05/08/sigh-of-relief/ Yesterday’s Blessing, Today’s Curse This morning we have a 2 hour delay for fog. Normally this would be an occasion of JOY! Who doesn't love a surprise fog delay? Ugh...NOT on the day of my big spring concert, when I have a zillion rehearsals to run, the program hasn't even been printed yet, and ... http://janhare.com/blog3/2009/05/07/yesterdays-blessing-todays-curse/ Bang Yo’ Head OK, so yesterday's mail was a bit emotional. Here's what appeared in my mailbox, in the order I opened them: An envelope from AQHA. I opened it and lo' and behold, it was a refund check for $165 for my registration fees for lazlo. I never ever thought I'd see a ... http://janhare.com/blog3/2009/05/05/bang-yo-head/ Not Enough Hours I need about 10 more hours added on to each day this week. There is too much stuff to do - and I am talking work related stuff (yuck!). Our big spring concert is Thursday. Dress rehearsals all day wednesday. Wednesday evening Taylor heads to the breeding farm in Ft. ... http://janhare.com/blog3/2009/05/04/not-enough-hours/ Hopeless, not hopegone OK, this is a personal pep talk to myself. You can leave if you'd like. Yeah, I get it. Taylor is not pregnant. Once again fate has spit in your eye. It's been 5 years since you had a living, healthy foal past 30 days.  You work your butt off only ... http://janhare.com/blog3/2009/04/30/hopeless-not-hopegone/ Doldrums It's another yucky, crappy day. I sat this morning in church and wondered about things...about what is 'fair' and why the world is so unbalanced in regards to fairness. Some peole have it all, some people have nothing, some are in-between. I get angry with myself for still having faith ... http://janhare.com/blog3/2009/04/29/doldrums/ Ecru Day Most people call a day like today "grey". I find grey a rather warm color with cool overtones. Today is more ecru, beige, taupe, yucky blah. Not high, not low. Not warm, not cold. Just blah. I feel blah. It is a misty cold rain outside, and following a sunny ... http://janhare.com/blog3/2009/04/28/ecru-day/ Past vs. Future One day at a time -- this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering. Today is a ... http://janhare.com/blog3/2009/04/27/past-vs-future/
