Location: DUMPING CATS AND PIGS IN TEXAS :) | BamaCanChaser - 2014-08-22 9:54 AM LRQHS - 2014-08-22 9:46 AM Just hold on. I went through a rough patch recently and I came here. The love I received was overwhelming and it pulled me back up again. Maybe, make a list of priorities and put the most absolute important thing first and keep ranking everything. Then, just concentrate on #1 first. Scratch it off and move to #2. I know it's easier said than done, but try not to let the magnitude get to you and simplify it as much as possible. Like Cheryl said, sell a horse or two if you have to.....regroup and try again.
I'm here if you need to talk......it will all be ok in the end. Just keep holding on. Hugs :) I'm so glad you are feeling better. You have been on my heart as well. Really enjoy your positive attitude. : )
Thank you, Bama. I really, really appreciate you and everyone else that lifted me when I was feeling so horrible :) |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I'm right there with you. For me it has been going on 3 years-horse problems at least. I try and look at the positives and try and put things in perspective. My dad was a turd this week too. I called him the night we put our stud down and he just said something about him not costing anymore money!?! really!!! he put $7,000 THOUSAND dollars in a dog because she blew out both her knees within a few months of having her. Sorry for the rant, but don't think it is you, or anything you are doing wrong. It just happens. In the words of Joe Dirt, keep on keepin on. |

| thank you thank you everyone.
I feel better this morning. I worked all night but I got to nap from 3a-5a lol. My tree trunk necked horse seems a little better. Still not sure what that's all about. My child, Sister, the bone spur and cannon bone/splint bone horse is feeling wonderful and her lump on her leg is down. Honestly the best part of this morning was coming into the barn to find that they didn't destroy their stalls like pigs like they usually do. |

Location: Fort Worth / Springtown | I love the picture posted that says to kneel when life gives you more than you can stand. I was thinking about your year and a half time frame for rough times, and I was wondering about God's concept of time, and it is not the same as it seems to you and I. This too shall pass, it just may take longer than you would like. It's been over 3 years that I seem to have been in a slump, but that's nothing to God or even the span of my life - and a lot of blessings have came in those 3+ years, also. These are challenges - embrace them - you can learn lots and conquer them - and don't let the devil get you down!
I am certain that by going through things like this, you are learning - these people that are able to give you advice about your trunk neck and other things, have been there, too. You will soon be able to help someone else with your experiences. Learn all you can - grow wise and don't despair. Just like the tree that gets stronger as the wind blows...
Just by having 3 horses and a trailer with a generator, you are doing alright. Stay strong! |

 Own It and Move On
Location: The edge of no where | MS2011 - 2014-08-22 2:30 PM Keep on trucking! Just go at it one day at a time.....unfortunately it's just life. You're not doing anything wrong...
Nothing seems easy lately..I had to put my dog down 2 wks ago, congestive heart failure that I've been doing everything possible to treat. I've got a bad back but I was so upset when I brought her home that I worked on digging her grave = extreme back pain ever since and getting my SI joints injected today... more $$$$$. We have to have a new septic system put in... ins won't cover it. I've had a root canal and have to get a crown next week. I feel like a money pit and I miss my dog - she's been my shadow and best friend for lots of years. My other dog is heartbroken. I have a nice horse that I want to run at Jud's futurity.... Have to pay that by the end of this month... normally I would just stay home, but I've only got one shot to futurity her and it's this year. So we just go one day at a time and hustle our butts off.... Hang in there.
On the comical side... we just bought a new truck two months ago, ours was done. It's a base dodge, but it's a big deal to us. Hubby dented the CRAP out of the tailgate when a flatbed came unhitched and bounced up. First new thing we've had.....this is why we can't seem to have nice things...
Just stand up and laugh at the insanity of it all and know this too shall pass.

 Making the post season

Location: your guess is as good as mine | Many prayers for you...glad today is somewhat better. After over 6 years of heartache & counting, I found a quote from Sonia Ricotti and have held onto it like a talisman...especially the last couple of months. Hopefully it will help you as much as it's helped me...
"Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be."

Location: west of East Texas | Sometimes the only 'good' you can find in a day is that you had another day. Remember to feel blessed that you have horses and trailers and trucks to give you grief. Sometimes when I'm fed up, I'll go ahead and give myself a window of time to just totally be whiny and feel sorry for myself. Then I ask myself "If I didn't have deal with this problem... would I miss it (the horse, the truck, the trailer)?" If the answer is yes... I doctor it or repair it and keep on moving. Hope you feel better soon and the tides turn for you. |

| Thank you everybody. I feel like my outlook is better. Things haven't changed too much. Tree trunk is better. Still swollen behind ear and tried to murder herself this morning so her head is all cut up now but superficial and it could have been mountains worse than a few cuts **bright side** everyone else is better. I had lunch with dad today. Still not the man I knew and still a catastrophe but not as bad as the phone conversation or the dinner on my bday so we are headed in the right direction. I finally calmly told him how I feel without crying (score).
Sorry weird info I know but I'm too big of a wuss to attempt to tell anyone else and y'all are there for me more than most so you guys get to hear it lol.
Thanks again everyone!!! I feel better and that's what matters!! Lol |
