Wow!! I really didn’t expect this thread to blow up like it did. Reading all the posts has been SO inspirational. So many Proverbs women here So many amazing, encouraging and inspirational stories. We spent the day yesterday in the hospital with my husband. He went into A Fib again. Had to have his heart stopped and restarted. I tell ya…some days. But he’s back at it again today. Back at work, doing morning chores, etc. He does what he can. And after hearing all your testimonies, I’m encouraged that I can do what I can too. Even when I’m tired. Bottom line is, I know that the life we are building, the farm/ranch is exactly where we are supposed to be and what we are supposed to be doing. And I can’t express the inspiration and encouragement you all have been. I hope that we can keep this thread going and lift one another up when some of us are tired. There is strength in numbers 💕
I’m sorry, I can’t figure out how to just post to the thread itself without reply to a particular person.

@J.T. Really?? Wow!! I didn’t mean to imply that my husband was lazy or selfish. He is 60-ish and disabled yet he works full time so we can live this lifestyle. He comes home every day in horrific pain. But he keeps working so that we can eat and have a roof over our heads. He had a retirement, but the company stole t. He is FAR from selfish or lazy. Our son and grandson, that’s a different story.

Thank you for your kindness DebinAZ. I can’t tell you what that means to me. Praying for your family as well.

I envy you. When I go to bed at night, I have anxiety attacks over what I didn’t get done and how we are not ready (in my opinion) if things go sideways. I’m lucky if I get two hours sleep a night. I guess I’m just tired. I’m sure it will pass.

Thank you for that insight DebinAZ. My husband is 60-ish and disabled yet he still works sometimes 60 hours a week. I know he is exhausted and in pain, yet he believes in what we are doing. And I have great respect and admiration for him. I try to set goals and get done what I can, but it never seems to be enough in my eyes. We are headed into terrifying times, and I’m not sure I will ever feel ready. I feel as if I’ve failed every dang day.
