Farm girls!

I am very proud of who I am.

Not just because I'm a good person and I do my best to be, but also because I'm a farm girl! 

Farm girls are amazing creatures we can still be soft and lovely but also strong and tough as nails. 

There's a fine line to walk when being strong enough to throw around bales of hay and sacks of grain that weigh about 50 pounds.

Fix fence and fight a bovine off if need be, wrestle a Pig into submission.

 Catch chickens when they get out, But also be a girl with pretty eyelashes, soft hair and perhaps even designs on her nails.

 I know this may seem contradictory but it really is a farmgirl's way. 

I know some farm girls don't believe this, they throw themselves into the work as if they were one of the men, trying to prove themselves. 

I've seen this many times over, However, I don't believe it's the way we should be.

We are still girls after all. 

This doesn't mean we are not capable of hard work and keeping up with the guys, but it does mean we are made differently.

Our bodies function differently, our muscles work differently. 

I may not possess the strength my husband has but that doesn't mean I can't get the work done. 

If I truly can't do it and I'm risking hurting myself to push through, I will ask Super Farmer for help, but I'm smart, maybe I need to do it a different way than he would! 

Part of a farm girl's beauty is her ability, her strength, her no quit, I can do it attitude.

Now I, as I'm sure many other girls want to feel pretty and attractive. 

                    I also, as many other girls, struggle with body images now and then.

Remember I'm not a little skinny girl, I work hard, I have actual muscles and because of my family genetics, I'm big-boned and broad-shouldered regardless.

 It's still nice to feel feminine. 

I have a closet full of high heels and dresses, granted I don't get to wear them very often but sometimes I wear them to the grocery store because, hell, I want to! 

Women are wonderful!

 We can do amazing things that men can't and we shouldn't try to make ourselves alike to men.

 We should just be the very best woman we can be! 

To all, you farm girls out there keep working hard, remember to wear gloves!
