Another blessed year has passed; I got engaged, got married, bought our first cattle together, more horses, and a beautiful niece. I look forward to the amazing things 2012 will hold. For the first time I created a “bucket list” of goals I look to accomplish in 2012, a list of things not that I need to complete before a die, but a list to encourage me and inspirer me to be better! That list is so simple so is such encouragement on shitty days.
The biggest adjustment in 2011 was the added family and trying to find the “right” balance between how much you should be telling them and things that go on you just can’t let bother you. For Christmas my husband bought me a sign that says, “Speak your mind but ride a fast horse.” Which is exactly who I am when it comes to things I have an opinion about, ha ha. A goal in 2011 is to let things go, or at least not let it get to me! Just try and do better and keep my husband happy and always aim for that goal of success in life. To ride, ranch and love with my husband and hopefully an addition to the family in the last part of the year, to enjoy and take in everything with the positives instead of the negatives. Focus, focus and enjoy good friends and cherish those family members you want to spend all your time with. Things your parents told you to always remember, I am feeling now and learning to just be happy! Enjoy life and learn new things all the time. My biggest challenge is to SUPPORT people and not just give the stuck up bitch attitude I am so good at! Things to work at for the new year!!!
it is nice to see that you and garnet are pursuing your dreams and going a different direction from the previous generation. You are not alone in your struggles when it comes to how you are going to raise a family and make things work.
ReplyDeletewhen i am overwhelmed i think back to Philippians 4:13 " I can do all things through Christ who gives strength."
i would encourage you to keep blogging as what you say is typical for those in agriculture and those outside of agriculture need to hear it.
I truly appreciate your comment. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog! You have inspired me to continue with it.
