I bought this house in late 2004 with the idea that we would do a little "fix up" on it, and that would be it. Two years later, we are still finishing what we started, and starting new projects. I have to remind myself daily that I am not insane, just slightly stupid. Don't get me wrong, I love the house and everything that we have done to it, but there are moments where I just want to toss in the towel and say enough is enough. Let's just sale the beast, take the money and buy a nice condo downtown.
Today is another one of those days that is being spent planting trees and vegetation for both function (shade) and beauty. Another $300 on plants and supplies, and another afternoon that could have been spent in the mountains. I guess I just don't know when to stop. Please Help!!

"Success is not the key to happiness.
Happiness is the key to success.
If you love what you are doing,
you will be successful."
- Albert Schweitzer
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
- Mark Twain
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
-Used by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech
