So Thoroughly Nice
Despite the date showing that today is Monday, we’re going to pretend it is Thursday so I can meet my weekly Theme Thursday post.
This week’s theme challenge is: Sand
Ah sand.
Beautiful beaches. Swimming in the surf. Sand in your shorts.
Really, sand is sort of a metaphor for life. So useful. So inviting. So “ow, damn!” all in one substance.
I wanted to do something different with this theme so I went to my favorite free stock photo site, had to go several pages down, and found the image that really grabbed my attention.
Now we’re talking sand!
If you are a horse person, then you know *exactly* what that horse it up too. Just back from a nice long ride and back at the barn, the saddle has come off, the saddle blanked peeled back. The moment that trusty steed is turned loose he will drop awkwardly to the ground.
All four hooves will then swing up in the air and a much happier horse starts wriggling around, scratching a sweaty back in the sand with SUCH a look of joy. Some horses will even groan a bit while they scratch.
Ya can’t help but laugh.
It’s a moment of joy so pure, it makes me wanna flop down in the sand and roll around just to see what all those sighs of contentment are about.

I hate to say this, but sometimes I feel like that when I take my bra off at night, though I don't roll in the sand…
