Day 10...

I am having a hard day. I find myself struggling to believe that this is my spring break. I am supposed to be in Missouri right now, in a lake house, visiting my dad and step mother, and visiting Laura and Almonzo Wilder's home at Rocky Ridge. However, my dad passed away in late January, the world is at war with an invisible enemy, and I am having a hard day.

I have always felt a kinship with Laura Ingalls Wilder. First, I wanted to be a writer just like her and then I wanted to be a teacher just like her. #goalsemiaccomplished

However, today I find myself feeling a kinship with Ma Ingalls, Caroline.  After all we each have four children, we were born in the city but settled in the country, we each have a child who is severely disabled, place value on education, and have faith in our Lord God. 

Up until this past week, I never spent too much time thinking on Ma Ingalls. How she must have worried, just like me, about her kids, her job caring for her family, disease, the state of the union...

I'm rambling and this doesn't seem all that funny...I am hoping that there is something to learn from the strong, faithful Ma Ingalls...keep on going...

-keep loving your family♥️

-keep cleaning your house🤣

-keep the faith😇

-keep getting educated 🙃
