    Your message is spot on. Resilience is an often overlooked trait. We're all building our resilience everyday, but just sometimes forget to call upon it. I'll continue praying for you. ~sarah

    Resilience, AKA "Plan B".
    I know surgery is scary...I had a liver resection last January and am going to have en extended right hepatectomy followed by the ALPPS procedure in about 6 weeks...but I know, and I know that you know, that God is always, ALWAYS there for us. God will take care of me and He'll take care of you as well. Prayers from me and mine are headed towards you and yours. Blessings.

    @OzarkMountainGoats 4 года назад +2

    Oh my that diet is ....well yucky! If it was not for modern science and doctors I would have been gone a long time ago. (seriously) We have been blessed to be living in a time that we both can survive be fixed and go forward. A little set back (yes) but it's OK to get things out of the way before moving on. At this point I need 2 knees and a hip. It will happen at some point. Funny thing is, I worry more about Josie than myself. I don't want her to have to do my part. But she will because she is a giving person and a nurse (retired) plus she loves me.(Lucky for me) Just as I would her! You have exactly the right attitude, knowledge and family to make this work. Our good Lord knows you need this before you move on. Sorry so long..I could go on and on. Take care and my your family be blessed! Oh, we'll all be here when you jump back in full steam ahead and feel great again! / Jim

    • @BearBottomAcres
      @BearBottomAcres  4 года назад +1

      Ozark Mountain Goats I completely understand your hesitation to have Josie do more work. I felt this same way about my family but eventually I had to allow myself to be cared for in order to get better. I hope that you will get the surgeries that you need soon ❤️

    OMG you did what with your wisdom teeth. They put me under, out like a light, and I was drugged up for a week. That experience took me to my limit. You’re a warrior. Great video. Stay resilient. Best wishes 🙏🙏

    • @BearBottomAcres
      @BearBottomAcres  4 года назад +1

      Farmer G let’s just say I wouldn’t do it again. It didn’t hurt but the sound was unbearable. It was like crunching bone inside my head. Would NOT recommend 🤦🏼‍♀️

    You have such a sweet soul. I am so sorry you are going through trials. I have a feeling you guys aren't to far from us, my husband commutes to the Twin Cities for work if you guys find you are behind on starting seedlings, I always get a little too seed happy in March and would love to help you out!!

    • @BearBottomAcres
      @BearBottomAcres  4 года назад

      Essence Homestead that is amazing! Thank you for your kind offer. We are still going to start enough seeds to plant our own gardens, but I’m not going to grow extra plants to sell this year. When I’m feeling better it might be nice to have a little get together 😊

    New trees are small. If you can get the trees in the ground, put a temporary barrier around each one.
    Being around very many people makes my negative thoughts worse. People have so many demands and no matter how much you give, they want more. So I stay away.

    • @BearBottomAcres
      @BearBottomAcres  4 года назад

      EcoCentric Homestead yes. I’ve thought about doing that with the trees. We have so many deer up there. We’re going to put up a deer fence around the orchard perimeter. Countering negative thoughts takes effort and practice but it eventually becomes easier ❤️

    Oh No! I will be praying each morning. What a great video! I love how you turned this to help others. I am so proud of you! Marie(the one that won your seed giveaway) down here in Texas got together & shared the seeds! So they were a blessign twice! Here is the video: ruclips.net/video/JRHUsS1XLI4/видео.html We gave you guys a shout out. Maybe getting your videos monotized will help with finances a bit? Keep giving the fear of surgery to your Father whenever you think of it. Love from Texas!
