"I got a Pig" This has become my new motto so to speak! I've talked about this briefly, but I'm really liking the way of thinking that I'm kind of forcing myself to think like. Couple months ago we butchered our first pig. We have been going through a rough patch financially (waiting and depending on our lovely government!) just trying to get through. Then on this fine afternoon as our Pig is hanging from our tree it hits me. Why am I worrying about these things. Why is my happiness being held hostage because of money. The questions of how I'll pay for this or what to do for that, etc..etc... Every time we go through money problems it always gets somewhat better eventually. It will this time too, its just a question of when! Anyway, so I started thinking that if we were in a survival situation, having this pig hanging from our tree we would of thought we struck it rich! Nothing else would have mattered, but the fact that we had each other and food on our plates. I began looking at what we have. Food, health, family and kids running around playing, land, shelter, transportation, work. What more could I ask for? Why am I letting myself be so unhappy, so uneasy with worry? I still keep trying to slip into that worry and despair over needing money for this and that, but I keep telling myself " I GOT A PIG! " over and over again.
