I once heard it said: ‘Iron doesn’t become steel until it has been through the fire’.
It’s important to remember, that when we face challenges it is not that ‘life is out to get us’ but rather an opportunity to develop the good and strong side of us.
We had a lot of stress and felt very badly treated by a wind developer, but Richard and I have now learned to forgive, and I have to say, I would highly recommend the principle of forgiving, there’s no better road to having peace of mind!
Our poor cows are under threat again, with a TB reactor showing up in the last test. These are not just cows we are having to send to slaughter, these are our babies, that we handreared from they were week-old calves. It breaks my heart, but it also teaches me that being upset about something doesn’t mean that everything else is bad, I have learned to focus on the good things rather than dwell on the problems and challenges.
