TOO BURDENED TO FLY

TOO BURDENED TO FLY?

 Years ago when I moved to Kenya, I was  impressed by the hard work, and the endurance to do it, of the women there. 

I drew this sketch , thinking , "I could never do that!" I would not survive the harsh life. 

I would be "too burdened to fly! " With flying being my euphemism for getting through this life with joy and laughter and  kindness and love. 

I have changed my mind, because I have seen first hand that the ladies here do fly! 

They might haul cow grass, as I have sketched in the drawing, up a hill, but  they build a fire, make tea, sit down, and have a few laughs with friends. Same as what I do. 

Work is just work. We do what we have to do, but the flying part of our lives is an attitude of the heart! 

I have met so many awesome women here who truly know how to "fly", no matter what the burden, or how steep the hill! 

 

GLADYS AND JENNIFER 

Hard working ladies who know how to laugh , love, drink tea, and spread the joy of life!

Have a joyous day, wont'cha, 

even if the work is hard and the hill is steep!
