I just wanted to give you a bit of encouragement this morning. Regardless of how weary you are with your daily routine, keep doing it because very soon it will pay off. Push through one more day. You can do it!
Growing up, we always had a garden. It didn’t matter how hard the soil, with a hoe in hand we would break up the ground and begin to work the soil. I remember the day we got a rototiller and how much easier it was to prepare the ground for seed. I’m not going to lie, I hated gardening! But when harvest time came and we enjoyed all those fresh vegetables, I must say it was worth it.
But harvest time wasn’t the end of our labor. We would get out the canning supplies and more work would ensue. Snapping the beans, blanching tomatoes and beets, peeling, crushing, canning and more canning. Then more beans, more tomatoes, more peas and then the corn and let’s not forget the squash. It felt like a never ending job, but after a few weeks, everything was put up for the winter. From spring to late fall, fruits and vegetables were prepared for those cold Michigan winters when nothing grew at all.
The hard work you do today will prepare you for the winters of your life. Keep going! You can do this!
