I often draw on things that happen in our lives and other people’s lives to find inspiration for my posts.
Sometimes not much happens around here so I get a little lazy and it takes time to come up with witty and charming anecdotes. Sometimes they are charming – sometimes witty and sometimes serious.
Serious time.
I have noticed of late that it is not all about the farm and the goings ons.
My travels for my job or a story in the news become inspiration as does what happens in my family and friends lives.
I am graced (or cursed {smile}) with a very large family. I am also graced (or cursed {smile}) with some very very dear friends who I consider part of my family – so basically and I am graced (or cursed{smile}).
Where to start, where to start…
I have been travelling for work for a couple of days. Not much happened around here – the day I left we had a “missing” kitten” but she was here when Hubs got home from work and all was well in that department. The Boys did not do anything silly while I was gone and Hubs has turned into quite the horse wrangler – he has the routine down pat – is comfortable mucking poop and picking feet. GO HUBS!!!
I got come home and checked into the Facebook to see what I had missed. Not too much – Candy Crush requests galore – I’ll get to them. News on the Farming Groups that I am a member of – need to look at those tomorrow.
A post from a very dear dear friend that caught my eye that warranted further investigation. Some messaging later to learn that this very dear dear friend of mine is going through a difficult time in their lives and it made me stop and think about how much I bitch and moan about mine that everyone has a story.
All of these stories that are happening make me always sit back and take inventory on my life – on our lives.
I try to be a good person be it at work or at home. I am a moody bitch a times at home and a raging bitch sometimes at work.
I find that I get so wrapped up in my life  -in our lives that I tend to forget that other people have shit going on their lives as well.
So – to that end – I would like to apologise firstly to Hubs and One and Two for being a moody bitch. You guys are awesome.
I won’t apologise for being a raging bitch at work because that is how I get stuff done and those who know me – know I am really not a raging bitch but…shhhh…please don’t tell anyone because I’ll have to cut you 🙂 and it will spoil my street cred.
To my dear dear friends – I love you both very much. I am sending you hugs to you – we are sending our love to you. You are part of our family.
You see – in this me, me, me world – we have to stop and listen to others – really listen.
Everyone has a story.
