[QUOTE="I luv herfrds, post: 472367, member: 5917"] Medic you are not alone in asking those questions and second guessing yourself. I sit every single day and ask myself what more can I do to help my friends family. Right now my husband drags me outside to go feed with him even though he can do it alone. Looking at the cows with their bellies getting bigger and seeing them in such great condition is great. Wait til that first calf drops and that field you have worried so much about starts to sprout into a wonderful color of green. We went through the drought, with the dirt blowing so much you couldn't see your neighbors place. Seeing the crops dead in the field and watching the cattle trucks roll by hauling a neighbors herd off to a down market will get you down in the dumps. We held on and survived. You can too. As for your neighbors in their fancy houses I could bet oranges to apples they have no idea where their food comes from nor do they care. With all their money they can not get the one great thing you have and that is pride in knowing that you can survive anywhere. Where they cannot raise their own food nor know how to even start doing so you could feed your whole family. You need to stop and look at what you have that alot of people don't. You have a job you enjoy, you have your family. Here is what my husband tells me. We eat with our family every night, we run tractors with our kids, we teach our kids how to depend upon themselves and we are where we love to be. Hope this helps you to cheer up. Next year will be better. [/QUOTE]
