A friend of mine shared an experience recently and it made my heart swell. Not in the ‘omg I knew I shouldn’t have eaten so much fettuccine Alfredo’ way … but in the ‘there are still good people in the world’ way.

That’s her in front, leading a group of Christmas carolers on horseback. They were on their way to bring some holiday cheer to a local nursing facility and veterans home.

Santa was there.

And she said the smiles on the resident’s faces when they met the horses were priceless.

Everyone got to pet a horse.
.

Even the residents who couldn’t leave their rooms.

I don’t own or even know how to ride a horse, but I’m tempted to ask if I can join them next year.
If nothing else, I can sing off key with the best of them.
