Hurdles

DAY 3141--July 1, 2024
Prompt:
“Mountains look big from the ground, but from eagle’s eyes, they’re stepping stones.”
What is your take on this quote, and on the average, how do you notice and assess hardships?

I suppose my way of looking at hardships is to face them head on and just hope things will get better.
When we, my husband, three year old and myself arrived in Australia we knew no one. All our furniture and belongings were stuck on Liverpool docks for six months in the docker’s strike. We bought a house but had nothing to put in it while we waited for our stuff to arrive. People we met donated some essentials which was really fortunate as we had no money to buy much. I was six months pregnant by the time we eventually furnished the house.
That time was hard.
After the twins were born our washing machine broke and so were we. I washed towelling diapers in the bath, treading them as if I was treading grapes to make wine.😂

So hardships now don’t worry me, nothing could have been as hard as those years with no family to help me with the children. I hear people saying “Woe is me,” over the smallest hurdle and just tell them they’re young, strong and healthy and that’s all that matters.
