September 1, 2025 Happy Labor Day! #horse #lifeisbutadream #haveitoldyoulatelythatiloveyou - Video

Today marks the unofficial end of summer, and I hope is a day you get to take off from work, relax, and spend time with friends and family.

We should remember to be grateful we woke up today so we can experience another Labor Day holiday. Not everyone did.

I will go first with the 5 things I am grateful for today:
I am GRATEFUL it's Labor Day and people get to enjoy a Monday off (I hope) with family and friends.
I am GRATEFUL for all the rewarding conversations I had at the Koi Show, from the people who I was able to help, to the people who subscribed to this channel, and for the people who shared their knowledge with me. After all, we are still learning all the time, aren't we?
I am GRATEFFUL for my life (despite the physical pains horse riding injuries caused me in the past before I knew about #positivereinforcement #animaltraining)
I am GRATEFUL my children love me, and want to spend time with me, care for me, and want to talk about their lives with me
I am GRATEFUL for you. For being here, for reading this. For caring about animals. That tells me a lot about you. And we animal lovers need to stick together. Because the world can be a scary place sometimes. We are faced with uncertainties, concerns over so many things like climate change, and AI, and what the future holds for our families.

I have faith in the universe all is as it should be, I am powerful I am beautiful, I am loved. And so are you, and today I challenge you to say it to yourself in a mirror. GTodayo ahead! Give it a try! You deserve it! Smile now. :)

Kiss and hug an animal today, if you safely can. Or volunteer at a local shelter and just make eye contact with a dog or cat, and notice how that makes you feel. Animals are a gift, and I would not want to live in a world without them. We are so lucky.

Today, we are safe, God protects us, and this day is easy, comfortable, and fun!
Make the most of it, this 2025 Labor Day, you are safe and free from any worries today.
Wishing for you that when you go to sleep tonight, you think back on how much fun you had today!
