But I've been feeling overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with the big shop building. Overwhelmed with getting things organized. Overwhelmed with the cattle. Overwhelmed with keeping the grass up, keeping the pastures mowed, keeping everything fertilized. Overwhelmed. Just absolutely overwhelmed. And I think we owe it to ourselves as human beings to kind of question the things that we're doing in our lives. You've seen this go from an overgrown brush pile to something that's absolutely gorgeous with a view. We can see 50 miles from the top of this hill right here. 50 miles. I can see from the top of my ridge and I don't have a family to share it with. I have friends and I have family and I am dating a young lady that I really think a lot of right now. She is great. I hope that that progresses on to something truly wonderful in my life. You guys have seen me go through clearing the land, making this place a farm, building the fences, and you've seen the struggles of a man being crushed by divorce. You've seen my family busted up literally 16 times. So, and I got to thinking, what am I doing this for? Am I finding enough time in my world, in my life, to really live, to enjoy what I'm doing? And don't get me wrong, I started doing all this because of joy, to bring joy to my life, to my home, to my family. And what it's doing right now is absolutely overwhelming
