Remain Who You Are

Mark Wayne
“Silver Sight”

Sometimes,

it is enough

to remain

who you are

as the chaos circles

around you.

#JustBelieve #HopeLives #LoveChangesPeople

Praying each of you and your family is well and finding peace in the midst. What are you doing to stay sane and mentally healthy during these times of chaos and uncertainty?

Today and Tomorrow

Mark Wayne
“Riding Bareback”

“Rest easy today and live your dreams, for we do not know what tomorrow may bring.”~M #Quote #Encouragement #Wisdom JustBelieve #HopeLives

What are you doing in the midst of the quarantines, stay at home orders, shut down of businesses, limiting of non-essential travel and just all around craziness to stay sane?

This picture is my daughter riding her horse at the barn. It’s a place we can go to escape for a while. Family is important during this time and making memories is still possible and essential. Our love for others should have no bounds.

While it often feels that many of our freedoms are slowly being taken away little by little, I leave you with this.

“When riding a horse, we borrow freedom.” – Helen Thomson #quote

Godspeed my friends. Now what will you do to today? Tomorrow?

Happy Places

Mark Wayne

“The best view is always looking between a horses ears!” ~Mark Wayne

Through sun and shadow
Across mountains divide
Down the valleys wide
Sitting tall in the saddle

Carrying our burdens
Despite the rain and wind
Two hearts intertwined
Tending to our afflictions

Sharing a little bit of sunshine on a gray rainy day in the Pacific Northwest. May you always have a little sunshine in you heart. Hoping you can always find a happy place and hold it close in your heart. One of my happy places is the barn where I occasionally get to ride my daughters horse.

Where is your happy place?
