I was over at The American Preppers Fourms and read a couple of posts from a new member. For some reason those post's have stayed with me. She is very new to prepping....maybe even just kicking the idea around. In the second one (which I can't find...GRRR) she was still feeling overwhelmed and wanted to know where to start. Here is an excerpt from her first one.
Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm somewhat new to prepping and just trying to get started. There is so much to learn and do. I find it a bit overwhelming.
I woke up thinking about it again today. It has nagged at me until I realized what it was....
THAT WAS ME about a year ago. I think sometimes we forget about the folks out there just starting out.
Not on purpose of course. But sometimes we just do. I realized that I have come along way in a short amount of time but I should never forget that I was where she is now not all that long ago.
I didn't leave a post back to her and I feel just awful about that. I have been searching for her second post all over and just can't seem to find it. But I will.... I owe her that....
She reminded me that I should extend a helpful hand whenever I can. We were all new on this journey at some point. And sometimes ya just need to be reminded.
Thank you SciFi for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteA helping hand is always good. :D
I also believe it is a constant learning process. We can always gain new information from one another.

You are so right Felinae... and thank you for stoppin in!
ReplyDeleteI just really started prepping this year too. I didn't realize all of the things we use. I can look back and see a small difference in the way I was then and the way I am now. I think it's going to take some time, but I'm one year closer than I was.
ReplyDeleteIt all starts with that first step. The journey gets easier afterwards. It's very good that you are at a point where you can now help others.
