It's time to get back to letting my thoughts out on a more regular basis. When this blog was created it was with the hopes of educating the greater public on the daily life of a farmers, to take about the issues they face, how policies of the general public effect farmers, and so forth. The hard part about maintaining a blog is devoting time to it. When you're as busy as a farmer, it is very easy to discard anything that isn't of the utmost importance which is what has happened with this blog over the last couple of years. While I don't know how well I'll be able to keep up, I'm going to try to keep up better this year on the blog.
Recently I've been trying to work on new hobbies as a way to quiet my mind and to get it focused on something else, find an escape from day to day life.
I've written poetry off and on over my life. Here is one I did today and maybe as I write about life, poems will show themselves too.
No focus
Trapped in an endless mind,
Thousands of thoughts screaming.
Phone conversation in another room,
Footsteps down the hall.
Piles on the desk miles high,
Twisted blankets on an unmade bed.
Work must be done,
No project more important than the
other.
