RE: Why We Started Homesteading!
We are planning to homestead for many of the same reasons. I just can't think of a healthier, more peaceful, fulfilling, more fun life style. We already implement as many of the activities, work, and other elements of the homesteading life style that we can here in town. We know homeateading os hard work, but so is paycheck to pay check, hustle bustle and drama of the rat race life. We aren't afraid of sweaty, dirty work and the satiafaction and pride that comes with it. We are afraid of looking back at our lives and what could have been if we had tried something different. Good for you for taking the leap. Hope your new year is showing promise! Thank you for sharing a little bit of your story.
There is nothing like playing in the dirt and going out to talk to your animals. It just takes the stress out of your life. It is hard work but it is a great lifestyle. I only wish I had done it when I was younger.
So true, im lucky I found it out early in life!
I hear ya! If I would have known there was an alternative to the day-in-day-out, clock in, clock out, do the best you can to get by kind of life, I would have done it long ago. But I never knew I had an option. Since I was a little girl I’ve longed for a Little House on the Prairie sort of life. Now I know it’s possible, so we’re going to make it happen! :)
I have spent most of my adult life working as an OTR driver and working jobs away from home and in the military. So it is now nice to spend much more time with the family. Sometimes it is not fun but we have enough land I can go for a walk. lol. I love that I can watch my grandkids grow up and teach them different things.
I’m happy for you that you have found your happy place and have time to spend there!
