Our roof is leaking!
Hello again. I had to take the day off from work because my wife went out of town and we had a major roof leak that needs to be repaired as soon as possible. So I’m sitting here at the farm waiting on the roofing contractor to get here to tell me how bad the damage is. I’m hoping that insurance will help us out on this, but you can’t ever count on things working out the way you hope, right?
In the past, I would have gotten very upset about a big problem like this and spent days stressing out over the money I would have to spend, the headache I’d have from dealing with it, and the inconvenience of it all. I guess as I get older, though, I’ve been learning to just be thankful for the fact that we have this wonderful farm to live on, we have a roof over our heads (even if it’s leaking right now), we have great friends and family to support us, and we both have jobs that we love.
