Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Okay everyone, Here is my new and Thanksgiving day post. I just want to thank everyone for all the attention they have given me including prayers and good wishes.I honestly don't know where I would be without all the miraculous creations from above and mainly due to the endless outside intervention of all the Fans of Barbaro and endless group of friends due to the Horse World.I suppose I also need to thank Barbaro for his input which is also endless.The people that have been brought back into my life and also the ones that have been part of my life for over 30 years all due to horses. I just got in touch with a guy who was a remarkable friend in Lexington,Ky and was in business with for many years then actually trained a horse he owned and bred himself over 30 years ago who knew nothing of my accident but gave me some great advice on which directions to head for in the future and plans on keeping in touch,And the maintenance man from my new apartment has a step daughter who received a horrible brain injury from a motorcycle accident many years ago and is partially paralyzed and we have talked on the computer more in the last two days than I've ever talked to anyone and I feel like I can really relate to her,with it being winter outside,staying in and messing with the computer is a good thing. I've also just started taking some Internet courses on ministerial work which is something I'm really looking forward to and can't wait to get started.I wanted to start this some 20 years ago and is one of the good things that has come out of this accident.Well I have to go start getting ready to go to the girl that runs Carousel farms,where I do my therapeutic riding, mother's house for Thanksgiving and that should be real nice.Happy Thanksgiving everyone and God Bless. Mike

Life is good

Life is good when you have such a large group of people and family that care so much for you. It's a shame you had to almost die and go through such life changing events before you finally realize who cares and how much they care for you. Now I don't know who's at fault for it having to take that major of an event to bring it out in the clear. But It wouldn't be surprised if I'm the one at fault in that department because I was so consumed and overwhelmed with just what's involved in just training a barn full of horses. Especially doing it the way I was. I'm also sure that's the biggest lesson God wants me to learn from all of this. What's really important and what's not. It's also a shame to have to loose a family learning all this but if it took this to do that then something else would have caused it and it's better happening now than later to give everybody a chance to recover and go on with their lives. At least I'm getting to look at it like this and not be all depressed and worried how God feels. Because he promises to love us all through everything and who could be more understanding about any situation and is waiting for the asking of help. So far things have gone amazingly, well just I haven't been healed overnight but that even though it's possible, wouldn't teach me the biggest lesson I have to learn "patience". Thanks again to everyone for praying and thinking of me and my family. Love, Mike
