~Consider The Horse~

Somedays, I plum feel like a rented mule...

Have you ever had one of them days when life's saddle was feelin' a bit too snug? Experience the irritating feeling that somebody, without rhyme or good reason, was holdin the reins too dang tight on you?  Want you to do something you havent been taught and arrogantly mistake not knowing for rebellion? Prod you with meaness instead of asking with kindness? Inflict anger instead of patience upon your body? Blame you for things gone wrong but quickly take credit for something you did right? Pit their power against your unrecognized giving will? Impose silly and ill-conceived notions of higher intelligence upon you? Take you for granted? Under-estimate your abilities? Over estimate your abilties and all too soon, give up on you? The next time you saddle up, consider the horse.....
