Sunny and bright

It's Wednesday and a beautiful day. But my spirits are low today. I am working hard at keeping my home and horses. It is hard. Some days harder. Some days, you get a bit depressed in thinking that I can come out of my debt and be ok. Don't get me wrong, I am ok, but would like to be better, who doesnt? The economy is hard on everyone. I get calls and emails from families who lost their jobs, getting a divorce, getting cuts in pay. What do they need to do? Is find a home for their horses. And I cant take them all in. I shouldn't have taken in Raven. If the guy were to ask me today to take her, I would have said no. But most days are good and if I have even an extra inch, I will take them. I need to find a way to rescue more horses! I am asking that if you read this blog and can either take in an extra horse or foster for me, please let me know. The rewards are great! I would love to take in more horses. The winter is looking very bad for people in being able to afford their horses and other pets. If they cant afford to feed themselves, how can they afford to feed their horses?? Horses can be -and are- expensive! I know this,every horse owner knows this. Right before winter, everyone looks at their barn to see how much hay they have and how much they need for the winter. Sometimes they are fine, sometimes not. I would propose to starting a fund for people who need help in getting some hay or a blanket or whatever else they may need! But that takes money. If you would like to donate to this fund, I will have a separate account and everything will be for people who need some help, but don't really need to find placement for their horses. I hope I can get donations for this. If everyone I knew would donate just 5 bucks, we could get alot of people helped! Good gracious! We need to help others in need. One thing that gets to me is that when people see overweight people who ask for help on their animals. People say, ' well obviously THEY arent starving!' Give some of that food to your animals. Ok, I am overweight. You know the reason why? I can only afford eating cheap pizzas, bread for sandwiches, cheap mac and cheese. It takes money to eat well!! I spend all of my extra money on my hay and grain, not for myself. I am 50 pounds overweight. I am not lazy and dont spend much on food for myself. I happen to be a person who will gain weight just looking at carbs! My horses, dogs and cats all eat better than me and I am ok with that! That is my choice. I am not a lazy person! So please, poor people are generally more overweight. So dont use the words, that you cant give to overweight people because they eat just fine. They dont! I dont! But like I said, I am ok with that. I would rather give my money to the animals who cant fend for themselves! Boy, getting myself all worked up now! Sorry about that. I just have to do what I have to do and then have a hissy-fit every once in awhile to get over my stress. Then I am better. Then I say, Oh, Jenny, just get off of your pity party and live your life each day... I know most people are like me. Sorry if I offended anyone, but as this says, its a blog and I write my thoughts and feelings. This business is not the weak at heart for sure. And sometimes I am weak and have to feel sorry for myself. And today is that day! I am just asking for people to see about helping a neighbor and/or friend out if they need it. Open your eyes, they are out there!
