As you know, I am now married to a wonderful man who was also a member of this site. Although we met through the website yardandgroom, we found out we both were also on this site so we looked our profiles up to learn more about each other. He offered me a job as his horse trainer and things progressed from there.
Why am I writing this?
I have only four days left on here to write or email and then I will happily ride off into the sunset.
I have met a lot of people on this site and it has been quite a journey, but soooo worth it!
I did make some great friends along the way and for that I am grateful …a lot of gals on here are GREAT!
My advice? ....If you are looking for friends, the chat room is a wonderful place. ...If you are looking for romance, it’s worth paying extra to become a member and email. If you're looking for a job, yardandgroom is great.
In closing, I'd just like to say “thanks to you Marcia” for putting a wonderful site together, “Thank you” to everyone I have met and laughed with, “I forgive you” to those who have hurt me, and “I’m sorry” to those I have hurt.
Here’s a poem I’d like to share; I’m sure some of you have heard it…
'The Dash' by Linda Ellis
I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
from the beginning...to the end.
He noted that first came the date of her birth
and spoke of the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered most of all
was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time
that she spent alive on earth...
and now only those who loved her
know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own;
the cars....the house...the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard...
are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left.
(You could be at "dash midrange.")
If we could just slow down enough
to consider what's true and real,
and always try to understand
the way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger,
and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives
like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect,
and more often wear a smile...
remembering that this special dash
might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy's being read
with your life's actions to rehash...
would you be proud of the things they
say about how you spend your dash?
*THANK YOU TO EVERYONE ON 'ES' FOR BEING IN MY 'DASH'.............
