Its getting ugly out there!

The economy certainly is reaking havoc with my business, boarders are paying late, and selling horses, and in some cases dumping them on me. The thing is as bad as it gets, i will not loose my farm, i will still be able to buy feed, and i will not give up. Life is sometimes hard, really hard, and i wish that people who had taken on the responsibility of owning a horse realized that you might actually have to work for your money, and to live up to responsibilities that are your burden.I have taken on what ever side work i can get, currently my husband and i are clearing a swamp out of brush to keep cash coming in. my point is, those of us willing to work, will do anything necessary to make it. Am i enjoying trudging around a swamp knee deep in either snow, ice, or mud and dragging ten acres of brush into piles-NO-but i do it to keep hay in the feeders, and grain in the bowls, and the bank from taking my house.I have animals who are my responsibility, who count on me, so i will do whatever it is i need to do. I am getting tired of people who are reaching out to the government and expecting to be bailed out, yes people are in crisis, but dont wait for corrupt politicians to help you out , help yourself, find work, chase it down.For those of you cutting and running on your horses right now, i have no simpathy, get another job, get two if you have to, stop eating out, shopping and get rid of the cell phones, and do your duty to the fourlegged friend who is helpless to bail himself out of a bad situation, there is a solution to every problem, you just have to be willing to do what you have to.
Ok - sorry for the rant, but be a good friend and neighbor, motivate people to stand up and take responsibiltiy for their own lives, dont dwell on the negative.
