HEY GIRL
So you “only” deliver meals to field in harvests? Lady. Fed tummies are happier and more apt to work harder! Thank you!
So you “only” run grain cart? I mean have ya ever ran a combine and been without, that role MATTERS!
So ya “just” chased your older kids in sports so they have someone in the stands that loves them? Friggin kuddos yo you!
Supper was “just” chicken nuggets. Last time I checked that’s a great quick protein. And fed is fed! Bravo!
You “only” sat in an office and worked on books all day. Way to go!
So you “just” went to your off the farm job. What?! Your job there matters big I’m sure of it, the farm knows that!
So you were “just” in survival mode today with your kids while you’re husband is in the field? Uhhh.. they’re alive breathing and I’m sure if they got asked by any stranger love you as big as the sky! Good job lady!
But you “only” got to half of your to do list? Hmmm there’s tomorrow right? Good job!
You failed in several ways today? Well don’t we all? Grace and the hopes of a better tomorrow sis
And you “just” have enough energy to get everyone to bed and be done for the day? Well I’m proud you gave it your all and are able to feel exhaustion, you’re alive friend find some amazing gratitude in that, not everyone gets another day here .
We need to stop our “just and only” talk and start embracing our roles and what we’re able to do. Don’t let the accomplishments of women on the gram or your town friend shadow what you ARE DOING
I’m just here to tell ya today, I’m proud of you. I may not know what all you got done or how little you accomplished but I know you need to hear I’m proud of you regardless. Offer yourself some grace on the hard days and kick ass on the good ones I know there was some good today no matter how small or big, lean into those feelings most
As we enter harvest for so many states, please don’t waste an ounce of energy comparing to another farm girl. You be famous to your family and your operation in the way that works for you, that’s all that really matters! #famoustomyfamily
