A day to make me smile

On Monday I took my saddle to the stables and decided... today if I am up to it I am gonna sit on my horse. I took things slow and brought Spike and Kyle in from the field.
Saddled Spike who is so fat I barely managed to fasten the girth. I led him into the arena and using a mounting block so not to stretch my back I sat on Spike.
Just sitting there was such a joy..  we walked around slowly for a little while and then I got back off. Those few moments of tranquility was just the tonic I needed.
Don't seem much does it... but for those who know what its like to be in pain will understand. Its often the small things that matter the most.
