Many of you know about the accident I had on May 13th at our daughter's house in Denver.  For those who don’t, I was thrown from the horse I was riding which resulted in a broken right hip and a compression fracture in the T-3 vertebra in my back.  I want to let everyone know that I am healing very well.  I walk with a cane now (sometimes without), and I am allowed to be out of my back brace for longer periods of time.  Hopefully, in another 5-6 weeks I will be free of it entirely. That will be a HAPPY DAY!!

I know my angels were with me that day and thank all of you for prayers on my behalf.  God has blessed me with the power of His healing.

I heard the following poem a few weeks ago and thought it was meant for me so I shared it one Sunday morning at our church service:                         

Riding Lesson by Henry Taylor

     I learned two things from an early riding teacher,

     He held a nervous filly in one hand,

     gestured with the other, saying,

     "Listen, keep one leg on one side, the other leg on the other side,    and your mind in the middle."

 

     He turned and mounted.

     She took two steps, then left the ground, I thought for good.

     But she came down hard, humped her back,

     Swallowed her neck,

     And threw her rider as you'd throw a rock.

     He rose, brushed his pants, caught his breath,

     And said, "See that's the way to do it. 

     When you see they're gonna throw you,

     Get Off."

I guess in all my years of riding, I missed that "Get Off" lesson!
