Have you stretched yourself the maximum any time in life?

That's what my feelings are at present. These three days I have to gather all my money, empty my purses, turn my bags upside down, collect all coins hidden in the pockets, withdraw whatever savings I have in my account and get ready to get something done in the little house I'm building. I need a substantial amount of money to cast the concrete roof, known in these parts as "chhad dhalai". I'm grateful to the builder who is ready to supply all the materials on credit. I have promised to clear his dues in two years. I have to hire a concrete mixer and a vibrator, pay the labourers and buy sweets for neighbours and our children. Trusting in the kindness of God, I hope everything will come to success.

God will help those who help themselves. But those who have worked will survive. And those who have saved for rainy days will have something to use when the weather is bad.

The very best of luck with your efforts. That is good of the builder to give you credit. I hope he doesn't charge you too much interest.

I know I've felt like that whenever I'm overwhelmed with all the things that need doing, but sometimes I just remind myself the end result will be worth it. Keep in there, you'll have a nice home when it's all said and done.

Everything will be okay after. God is merciful. It's not an easy task.

Not anymore. Money is not an issue for me these days. But we all have been there for sure, including me. I never enjoyed it.
