How NOT to reassure your fearing-blasé-middle-age wife:
GTR: I used to do so much more in my life: travel, adventure, intellectual or idealistic things. What am I doing with my life now?
WF (innocently): Laundry?
Ha! In his defense, I WAS standing there with some freshly air-dried laundry in my hands. Ah, life.

Living simply/homesteading is all of the things you used to do....minus the travel.
I look forward to settling don and havng a garden that I can maintain year to year. Perhaps there will still be time to travel in the spring.
Yes, indeed, Burdockboy! I'll admit to a bit of "grass is always greener" syndrome: ie I spent months traveling in New Zealand, always thinking: This could be a good place for a garden, etc... I wanted roots.
I do have roots now, and I'm grateful. Just sometimes remember a time of more flexibility fondly... but we CAN do so much where we are.
