Good morning, everyone!!!
Yes, we've been at it again :) Hundreds of tomatoes were turned into sauce to make paste yesterday evening. There is something pretty amazing about being in the zone.
We spent a few hours in the garden gathering more tomatoes yesterday afternoon. Then spent three hours turning them into sauce and preparing them for the paste process.
It's been pretty amazing how so many people have come forward with kindness during this time for us. I've been going through some really rough times lately. So much going on in life that rips at my heartstrings, then out of the blue people come forward after seeing the pics we've posted about our canning adventures, and these people restore my faith in humanity :)
This process has taught me that disorder and order can go hand in hand. Chaos and sanity are best of friends. Embracing both heartache and happiness can be the best place for enlightenment.
We've learned so much over the course of this process, not just about canning and making yummy things, but also about ourselves and our endurance and just how far we can be pushed up against the wall and still manage to push forward.
Life is a strange place to be sometimes.
I have this overwhelming peace within me that I have no idea where it has come from. I've prayed for truths and I've had those prayers answered in ways that completely and utterly make my mind just go hmmmm….
Yet, even in the face of these truths I find peace where I would otherwise feel anxious. It is just strange. I've found a sort of comfort zone I never would believe I'd be comfortable in.
I focus on what is here and now. What I can do, what I can control, and I've turned everything else over to the Lord and Lady.
I've been enjoying the moments of chaos and insanity that comes with, What's next on this list. Pushing the mark each day to strive to meet the goals of the day.
There will be times of less chaos in the future. Where the canning is done and the goodies are put away for the winter months. A satisfaction of knowing we did this, not alone, but side by side every step of the way.
We spend our time with busy hands, full hearts, and light positive chatter to embrace each day and relish in what we've done. We watch the changes coming over the land and know the harvest season will soon come to a close making way for beauty of another kind.
We're finding a brand new comfort zone to reside in. One filled with accomplishments not tarnished by bitterness and negativity, but finding the positive in the midst of the negative. A place I've always strived to be at but never quite seemed to find it.
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
