Day 231

I am grateful for morning horse rides.

It's been so hot that we've started riding in the morning instead of the evening. It gets dark sooner now, so it's great to get out when it's still cool. It feels like the plant life is just waking up, slowly stretching limbs and blinking eyes. The only dust in the air is what we stir up. I tend to be quieter in the mornings, and the comfortable silence between us is peppered with meditations and thoughts of self-improvement. It's like my own live, moving devotional.

Thank You, Lord, for this special time.
