Glad to hear jingles are working!!! 
Most excellent!!!
You probably have already run across this one, but it might help to say regularly:
When something goes wrong in your life just yell plot twist and move on!
Congrats on better news than expected. Packing can be so freeing - if you don’t feed the fears and panic trolls.
So happy for you!!
Glad things are looking up.
Glad to hear your positive update.
Still jingling away for you and your daughter.

Funny you say that, because I’ve said that over and over the last few months - I’m living in a bad screenplay, written for Hallmark! But just like all of their movies, the ending is always good, and she gets the perfect guy…so I’m prepared for that eventually ;).[/QUOTE]
Hey, you write your own Happy Ending!
That’s wonderful! Hope things just continue to get better and better!
Jingles! Hope things keep looking up!
Still thinking of you, and hoping you are doing ok in this super cold weather! You’ve been getting a lot of snow too . . .
Thanks 2horse - yes we’re getting slammed with snow like so much of the country. We’re still at the farm until the end of this month and quite frankly, I can’t wait to get the heck out of here! The driveway is a nightmare since we have no equipment to move snow. My back and shoulders ache from shoveling 
So, we have secured a home in town, 1.5 miles from school/work. And my horses will be in a private barn 2 miles away, on my vets property. For all of the crap that’s happened, I’m so anxious to settle in to our new routine and put this behind us. Since I have no equipment anymore, my barn is filthy :(. Fortunately everything is frozen and much of it is buried under snow…but this is still stressful for me. I know they won’t die in the next 3 weeks from living this way - I’ve seen much worse, but we are all having to live in ways we aren’t accustomed to. It will be so nice when it’s finally over. An added bonus? I will get to use the indoor arena!
also sending you good wishes!
Sending huge jingles to you for a safe quick landing for you and your flock! Just to add, karma is your friend in the ex dept. I took the high road in my divorce many years ago and let things be. Not to be too graphic now but ex is really ex now, and I had absolutely nothing to do with it! Huge hugs to you and your family.
When one door closes, another opens.
Thinking of you.
Your world is changing for the better ~ IMHO ((hugs))
Your world is changing for the ‘better’ ~ ((hugs)) ~ hang on !

Okay, I’m curious…;). If it is what I think it is, I can only hope karma can’t read my wishes!
I’m sure you’re neck deep in the move - please let us know how it went. Thinking of you
BUMP!! HundredAcres, hope you are doing well in your new place - any updates on how you and your DD are doing?
I just read this entire thread and it was so heartwarming to read the thoughtful, encouraging, supportive and caring posts. OP, I am hoping you have had a soft landing and sending jingles to you and your daughter.
Hi all, I popped in for some horse care advice and thought I’d update here.
Wow, has life changed. Divorce was final almost exactly 6 months to the day my husband walked out. I haven’t been screamed at or called a bitch in so long, I’ve almost forgotten what it feels like :).
I’m down to one mare, Samantha (the Arab). I’m still fostering Angel, the 34 year old TB, and the goat keeps them both company. I’m boarding at my vets place which is not quite 2 miles from home. My daughter and I settled into a small but nice house in town. The dogs are adjusting - we’re adjusting, to walks and scooping poop. The cats are adjusting to being housecats.
I’ve been doing really well but had a bit of a meltdown over the weekend when I passed the farm and saw my beautiful flower garden thriving, despite the neglect - so many of those plants were from friends, I felt like I’d abandoned them. My ex husband removed all of the fencing, my arena, my little cross country course, paddocks, pasture fences…it’s all gone. It was hard to see, but I’m in such a better place.
Glad to have been through it to see how good I’ve got it now :). I hope this encourages anyone who is going through it to keep pressing, look for the light.
I’ll always remember the things I read here. Reading through t again was hard, but it also felt like a giant hug all over again.
