I think a lot of the time, it's instinct pushes us to do things we don't even realise that's what's getting us to the task...and then gets us through it! There's some freaky weather around at the moment, all over the world...wonder what's happening? *oooohhhhh, spooky*Geckohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869977105238208893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-7030937753750963592008-02-12T00:54:00.000-05:002008-02-12T00:54:00.000-05:00Bravo for you!

We got elec. to the barn in Dec. which made a big diff, but the walk is still far and dark and hubby is usually sleeping. I, too, am proud to do it now with little fear. Often it is very peaceful and then there are the nights like you had. Personal growth. :)Netherfieldmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260647159580710835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-88120570797415397332008-02-11T21:38:00.000-05:002008-02-11T21:38:00.000-05:00I believe we all have a sixth sense, even though t...I believe we all have a sixth sense, even though trusting that 'feeling' doesn't come easy.

I used to have to go through the back of the barn to feed the ponies their last snack of the night and it would be what I refer to as "serial killer dark" in there. Freaky doesn't even begin to describe it. Then, I wised up and now I bring them their hay through the front of the barn. What can I say...it seems that my approach to life is often that it's not worth doing if it's not done the hard way first.<BR/><BR/>Good for you for listening to your instincts too and finding the gate unlatched. I find that if I heed the quiet urgings of my inner voice, it never lets me down.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>CarolynnCarolynn Anctilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566204713508877389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-38977992162100140702008-02-11T15:58:00.000-05:002008-02-11T15:58:00.000-05:00There sure was a lot of wind last night, I'm glad ...There sure was a lot of wind last night, I'm glad I didn't have to go outside.
