The last month has been difficult to say the least. Between a tornado, daughter in law’s car accident, family coming from out of state to help, family arriving for a visit from Washington state and adult children having problems, I wish I knew where to start.
We are still working on clean up from the storm and my home looking like a tornado went through the inside. Where do I start? I can honestly say ADHD kicks in, and I start in so many places but can’t finish one thing.
I’ve had to put my Etsy store on the back burner at the moment. I can still fill orders but no time to create anything new. Us homesteaders, wives, mothers and many more labels I could add, feel we can conquer the world but yet where do we find time to get everything done?
At times I feel like my life is in chaos and the only time I feel steady is when my husband is near. He steadies me every day. When I feel like I’m getting my butt kicked and I’m just down and out, he marches in and makes me realize that I’ve got this, I’m so much stronger than I realize. We are an amazing team and work so well together.
I need to take a step back and look at how far we have come and where we are going. We’ve got our goals lined out and we will achieve them!
I need a breather. I need to center myself again. I can do anything I put my mind to. I’ve survived worse than this. I can’t stop, I won’t stop!
We don’t achieve our dreams in a day, they take time, planning, and executing those plans. Building this dream of ours may have had some ups and downs but they are completely worth it.
My husband asked me last night, where do I see us in 2 years… I told him. Then I asked him the same question, our answers were almost identical. I’m trying to be positive and that hasn’t always been easy for me. But together we’ve got this, this dream for our life is only hard work away. We’ve never been afraid of hard work.
So, as I go through this day, I think of this dream, our life together and the love we have for one another, and knowing we will always have each other’s back. Take this a day at a time and keep pushing through.
