"Self-sufficiency does not mean 'going back' to the acceptance of a lower standard of living. On the contrary, it is the striving for a higher standard of living, for food that is organically grown and good, for the good life in pleasant surroundings... and for the satisfaction that comes from doing difficult and intricate jobs well and successfully." John Seymour ~ Self Sufficiency 2003

    Too many people like things the way they are and are not likely to change until they are slapped silly when it effects them. By then it may be too late for all of us.

      Thanks Astra. Yeah, prior to meeting and marrying RMan I move a lot too - think I went to 12 different schools in total.

      It will definitely be worth it :)
