R u ok.......

Hey fellow bloggers........
it's r u ok day... 
Sometime's I feel like I'm all alone trying to juggle all, work, kids, calculations of food and money budgets, ordering, feeding working on and off farm......at present it's just work work work.......all day everyday is just the location that changes........
But..... 
Then I get a random text, email, calls, mail etc........ It's from you lot my support crew......
They always make me smile..... 
This is a time that is really challenging for me ........ I do choose to do what I do but at present there is no stop time...........it will rain one day properly ........ I will make it to the other side battered and bruised so to speak but it will make me a stronger person too......
So life is up and down but I try to find the ups to beat the downs.......
You never know really what's going on in someone's life so take the time to stop and ask
R u ok?
And really stop and listen to there answer........ 
Catch you later......

Sending hugs through the ether to you Chooky. We don't get a choice with life.....ups and downs are it! You are doing an amazing job xxx

So glad to hear from you Chooky. When the word drought is mentioned I always remember the last time you were suffering very badly - I think it was when you had those people from overseas staying with you? I know you came out the other side of that - in tact, albeit briefly. Wishing you all the best. All our thoughts are with those on the land.

Good to hear you are super busy but ok. Lots of people are thinking of you...hang in there, one day at a time.xx

Janice said...

Thinking of you. You'll get through it.

sunny said...

You are such a strong woman. Not sure I could handle all that with so much grace and perseverance. And here we are with localized flooding, and more to come with Hurricane Florence. Keep on keeping on!

gracie said...

So many of us feel the same way...hang in there because that is what I am doing right now.

Thinking of you and hoping that things turnaround soon.

Happy to hear you are hanging in there despite these enormous struggles. My neighbor had friends visiting last week from Adelaide and we talked at length about the struggles farmers have when there is no rain. She said she felt guilty going to the beach when there were so many people in Australia needing water.

Gail said...

Always thinking of you and sending you light and love.

Sherry said...

CountryMum said...

Yes listening for the answer is the key to asking that question, or any question for that matter. Thinking of you guys up that way and really hoping that it rains sooner rather than later. Hugs to you.

Glad you’re ok. Everyone has ups and downs and trials in their lives....no matter where we live. Life has been crap for us this year....but it’s just one foot in front of the other....one day at a time. And it’s our tribe that gets us through xx
