When I compare the hardships and challenges faced by indigenous people and pioneers in days gone by to our modern way of life it really does emphasize just how strong and resilient people were. We moan and groan when our washing machines break down our power goes out during storms and are unable to use our ovens, microwaves and dishwashers etc. What a bunch of wimps and weaklings we are, compared to those people who  knew the meaning of the word 'work.'  

I was having internet problems last week too so I empathize with you. Yes. You have great powers of deduction my friend. U & R mean Upvote and Resteem and it is a pleasure to share your inspiring blogs. I hope you and Mrs J have a blessed and enjoyable Easter. 🙏
