    I had started a webpage to showcase the work we had done before both of us became disabled (rescue farm animals).  That site is http://thepeasantscottage.com  it also is to showcase my husband's many writings and it is a work in progress.  But my skills at development are nil at best.  I was a programmer analyst and the positions I held before my disability did not allow for web design or development.  Plus I have not the funds to get the tools needed that this site requires.  I so wanted to get this done as my husband is a critically ill cardiac patient and his time is limited.  I fear my lack of resources and skills won't get this done.  As well there is this same domain, plus a .org, but I have not used it because we have not sent in the paperwork for the non-profit.  The hope was to solicit help with the animals we have left.  I gave up that hope when I realized people in this community don't want to help us at all.  When we were in such dire need before my case was settled, people would donate hay and feed - supposedly out of the goodness of their hearts.  But I have found out from several sources that all that came with judgemental strings.  We have let go of many animals, but the ones left were those no one stepped up to give homes to.  People were quick to dump off those they did not want on us, but come time we needed help to find homes for some, there was no one to help.  Worse, we now hear people say that 'if they didn't have animals, they might have something!'  that was heartbreaking to both of us.  they do not know what we have been through  my husband's heart attack that nearly killed him and then my disability that cost me my career.  it seems the only way to supplement our small limited income is by a website, but i have no idea where to begin and cannot afford these scam outfits that promise income and only take your money.  we are so disheartened by what some in this community have said about us (I have worked since I was 12, played by the rules, and my husband has given the shirt off his back).  But this hurt is so great, I am taking down this web site.  It features our home, his writings and our animals.  There was another I wanted to start:  thyhealingheart.com (and .org), but so far it is just a domain name and nothing else.  I am out of ideas.  I certainly cannot have a site asking for donations.  So I need something else to generate income and an income that is NOT dependent on the people around this area.  We need help.  I have the computer skills and equipment, but that is all.  I have not checked out Site Build it, but I am sure with my experience I can soon put it to good use.  But trying this website on our own has been So depressing and I am one of those left without insurance, so I deal with my illness as I can until Medicare kicks in next March.  This is TMI, I know and I do not even know if this is what you wanted as a description.  But here it is.

• Doing A Lot of Nothing (Poem)

  • From: chrisym
  • Description:

    Doing Alot of Nothing

    Do you ever look out your window
    And realize your beautiful rainbow
    Colors in your life you suddenly recognize
    I did today, and found myself hiding in disguise
    
    I talk about my sincere desire to overcome this strife
    And how this battle will not be my life
    I can take it like Lance Armstrong
    But in the end, I'm Doing A Lot of Nothing
    
    Doing A Lot of Nothing
    It really hits home
    No more blaming anyone or any thing
    It's like my mirror is now turned On
    
    The colors finally shine when the mirror can collect
    All that which we have chosen to forget
    So many lessons I've sought & gained insight
    But changing myself, I truly did not fight
    
    Today, at this moment I must Do
    Just Thinking after a while turns into Nothing
    Life requires purpose carried out
    Otherwise you are doing a lot of nothing
    
    Every morning when you wake up
    Before or during your morning coffee cup
    Make at least one goal and Do that one thing
    You will begin to feel your rainbow instead of nothing

• Hidden Blessings (Poem)

  • From: chrisym
  • Description:

    Hidden Blessings

    If chronic illness has a home
    Moments in life can be stolen
    Keep a careful eye on where you are
    Most of what you miss are the Hidden Blessings
    
    Be the purpose designed by God
    Don't stop trying and find support
    Distance from those who hurt you with fraud
    Give room to the Hidden Blessings
    
    Daily struggles accept, don't resist
    Life is not an entitlement
    There is more than your illness
    Allow the Hidden Blessings
    
    You will fall, you can rise, accept help
    Keep true to yourself & others
    Don't apologize or sacrifice yourself
    Be a part of the Hidden Blessings
    
    Know that God does love you
    Show it in mind, body, & soul
    He will not fail to provide rescue
    And will continue to bless you with Hidden Blessings
