I'm getting rather proud of my coping skills. Bella gets sick on all her bedding? No problem, I'll wash it in the bathtub!! With dish soap! (I don't have a washer, a car to get to the laundromat, or a friend I can call for help.) Running low on the food I'm supposed to snack on? I'll live on peanut butter!
I hope another $400 dollar problem doesn't go wrong on the van when we get it back.
But if it does, I have my little house on the prairie books for inspiration.

I think contentment often depends on comparison - and that can lead to trouble or gratitude. Living at the Land has helped me keep the right perspective so many times. I hope I never forget it. But it's like, oh yeah, there were times when we didn't have hot water, or heat, or even running water, or electricity and we were fine - it's so easy to take things for granted. Thanks for the reminder to appreciate everything! (especially the little drying rack that fits perfectly in our bathtub :)
thank God for laura ingalls!
