The TallGrass Blog

 One month after I was given the go-ahead to resume golfing, horseback riding and a regular workout schedule after my rotator cuff surgery last November, I jumped bareback (stupidly) on my new horse and fell off, landing on the same shoulder. An MRI confirmed that I re-injured the exact same tendon. My doctor advises surgery again.  Wahhhhhhhh! Another six months of immobility.

All right, I admit it. I have been sitting on the pity pot. So, my friend gave me great advice: Focus on gratitude for what you do have!  (Why is it that we already KNOW this stuff, but forget so easily?) And that reminded me of AA’s slogan: One day at a time.  I can’t count how many times these two platitudes have helped me remain positive. 

Speaking of gratitude and enjoying the moment, it’s been a glorious summer with rain coming most afternoons. This morning, the drive to work on Upper Bear Creek Road was exquisite – gorgeous green grasses and wildflowers, deer grazing by the side of the road, a beautiful sunrise. TallGrass is humming along with our amazingly talented team and gracious, relaxed guests. My family and friends are doing well. Everyone is happy and healthy. My father’s 85^th birthday is next week and he still goes to the gym twice a week to lift weights!

Life is good. We hope you’ll agree. Why not celebrate by enjoying a perfect day here in our incredible TallGrass valley very soon!
