Roller's Philosophical Friday: Perspective


Greetings my dear Muleteers!  Gosh what a busy week we've had, there have been visitors and parties and fun.  I have been a good pony this week with no escaping (my lady friends from across the ocean persuaded me it was not good for my handsome physique...) and have been keeping the long ears in check.

We had a birthday day this week and threw the perfect party for our human.  We know just how to make her happy and what she likes to do.   Life is always about your own perspective.  My perfect day involves a bite to eat, a good snooze, a groom with The Mini, a game of kiss chase with Dragon and an early night - bliss!  I'm not likely to run a marathon or jump a fence but I do like looking good!

Our human is much the same, she would rather sit in the mud, read a book, watch the birds and eat an apple.  Much better than any fancy restaurant, throne of gold or night at the opera.  Seems we are all simple at heart in this house.  So in honour of choices we make and the ability to choose what we love here is a little quote that will appeal to many 'little girls' out there, bet you know who you are ;-)

Here is one little girl who would rather clean a stable than her own room
Here is one little girl who would rather wear chaps than a party dress
Here is one little girl who would rather go to the barn than the mall
Here is one little girl who would rather have a pony than a diamond
Here is one little girl who is happy.

To all those little girls (and guys!) out there, here's to the freedom to choose, enjoy your trip to the barn this weekend ;-)

  1. So many of our equine friends around the world don't have the freedoms and choices that we have. So many of our human friends around the world don't have the freedoms and choices that our humans have.
    Enjoy your freedom and choices I really appreciate mine xxxxxx

  3. My dearest Roller, I am so glad to hear that you chose to stay on the healthy side of the fence --your handsomeness deserves it!. Your week was pretty entertaining, indeed. How I love your ponilicious flock!.

    Ah, my darling, the choices of a simple life, rich in nature's scents, songs, colours and celestial wonders. That view from FH's lap in her party conveyed so much happiness in the simplest of pleasures. Sunny siestas, hedgerow snacks, a good mud roll, being groomed, cuddles, mischief, love ... perfect ingredients for a happy life. I second Zoe's sentiment and wish every creature enjoyed freedom.

    ♥♥Weekend cuddles to all♥♥

    1. The simplest of pleasures are certainly the best if you open your heart to enjoy them. Friends, freedom and the beauty of Mother Nature cannot be equalled. Sending you snuffles, neighbrays and miaows in return for our cuddles xxxx

  5. I agree...I am the little girl who grew up to be an old little girl. Still would rather wear chaps than a dress, still would rather go to a tack shop than a mall.

    Obviously, I don't have to grow up do I?

    1. Growing up is all in the mind.... we have decided to avoid it at all costs! We reckon it's all in the mind, so we're giving it a firm ignoring!
