I sure hope…

 Feeling a bit nostalgic tonight…decided to just visit some old blogs I used to read. Many are now gone, moved on to other things. 

So many changes over the years…for us all…I loved blogging about homesteading all those years ago..I really do miss it…not completely sure why I stopped, but seems many did around the same time.

I would love to go back to blogging about it, but not sure how…sounds silly doesn’t it?  How do I not know how? 

I guess I mean to say so many things have changed over time. We still homestead and have grown over the years. Learned a lot! But so many more pressing things have taken over. We are living in an uncertain world with so much going on homesteading seems almost frivolous! I think there’s also fear to talk to much about these things now days…fear of the powers that be taking what you’ve built. 

Oh! What I would give to go back to that time when my biggest worry was if I had enough goats🤣…I miss that time! My mind is now filled with clutter from the political realm terrified of the future for us all. Homesteading seems just bit less important I suppose. 

I’ve lost me somewhere a long the way of the past few years. In the past 13 years I’ve lost my dad, my best friend, my stepdad, my church family that meant the world to me…been through lots of political turmoil, a pandemic, a grandson born with serious issues, my husband had a heart attack and now my mom has cancer and more political turmoil…I’ve lost me somewhere in all this mess! I miss me! Not sure how get me back!

I so want to go back and enjoy life again…feel joy waking up knowing there is a semblance peace in the world and my homestead awaited just outside…I want to feel happy again…I remember everyday checking on my friends blogs reading about their day on their homesteads and writing about mine…writing about getting new chicks to raise, or a baby goat being born…writing about making bread or gathering eggs..so simple yet it connected us all in a way that is now gone…I wonder often about some of those people…do they wonder about me? 

Maybe soon I’ll get this thing figured out and feel better…I sure hope anyway! 

Until next time…
