Kizi and I took our ponies to visit a local nursing home as a favor to a friend.
Turns out, we were the ones blessed. 
I was told this sweet lady is on end-of-life care. I choked back tears as I watched her commune with Jitterbug, with her murmuring over and over and over, "I love you. OH! I love you!"

beautiful...

The world has enough women who are tough;
we need women who are tender.
There are enough women who are coarse;
we need women who are kind.
There are enough women who are rude;
we need women who are refined.
We have enough women of fame and fortune;
we need more women of faith.
We have enough of greed;
we need more goodness.
We have enough of vanity;
we need more virtue.
We have enough popularity;
we need more purity.
