Adversity

Adversity makes a stronger; that’s what they tell us anyway! What is adversity?! Oxford dictionary described adversity as “difficulties or misfortune.”

We all have varying degrees of adversity in our lives and in our work. These situations hopefully make us stronger and prepare us for future trials and tribulations.

When I arrived to the farm this morning I quickly learned that a GFI outlet had tripped at some point cutting off the majority of our oxygen in the aquaponic system. Our lettuce needs oxygen….and so do the fish. Unfortunately, we lost close to 300 koi fish last night. Not the way I intended to start my day. However, more fish have already been ordered and will be here next week.

Remember, life happens. It’s how we respond that matters. We can’t control our circumstances (entirely) but we can control our responses.

Enjoy this cooler weather….it appears it might be sticking around!
