Slow and steady is the best way to go if you can. We all have made huge mistakes in our lives, but as long as we learn from them and are able to move on, we have made progress on our journey. Life never promised us a rose garden free from thorns and weeds.

Sometimes we bite off more than we can chew in our excitement. Just keep chewing and soon you will be able to swallow. A wise man once told me never to measure my success through someone else's eyes because they do not see what you see.

As long you are happy what does it matter what other people may or may not think? I have been working on this homestead on my own for the last 3 years, continuing the dream that my husband and I had for our future. It still is not complete and it may never be completed depending on circumstances here. My only sorrow would be in leaving everything behind...
