I have a feeling that Stormy was named for MH's books since he's a Chincoteague pony. He came w/the name and since he knew it, we decided not to change it.savingdogs said:Sounds like a busy day. Are Stormy and Misty named after Marguerite Henry's books? I was so charmed by those books as a child, was so disapointed none of my kids got into horse books.
I find once I sit down towards the end of the day, I'm done! But I can keep going a long time, like the energizer rabbit. Sounds like you can, too!
Tell me, would you describe your personality as a "pleaser" of others? I have found most MD patients to be that type....approval-seeking and determined with a lot of stamina. Is that you? Just curious.
As for Misty, she's a flea bitten gray, and I love mornings when there's a chill to the air, not a cloud in the sky, it's still and there's a mist hovering just over the ground and the lake, so, she's Misty Morning. I never knew the name that she was given until much later. (She's a rescue.) Quite honestly, I never even thought of the Misty books until quite some time after I named her.
In a way, I guess you could say that I'm a pleaser of others. I never felt like I measured up to my parents expectations. I carried that over into adulthood. But, w/in the last year or 2, I realized that I WASN'T happy. So, I stopped trying to please others, and instead try to please myself. I'm much happier. And, I do have a lot of stamina, will power, or something. It's the only thing that's kept me going at times.
