The Hardest Year Of My Life So Far | Chasing The Dream Through Hectic Times | Gotta Pay The Bills

Finally had some free time this morning to make a video. I've been "on the clock" at work from 8am until 10pm every day so this is all I can muster for now. Thanks for watching!

    We are all paddling the same boat just in different places. Times are hard and depression seems to be attacking us all. Pray and keep the faith. Love your chickens they are beautiful and your rooster is really happy !!

    You’ll make it, Jeff. You’ve achieved your huge dream of buying your bigger piece of land, put in a septic, etc. This is what you’ve been dreaming of for so long. This property is definitely what will get you the rest of the way. Way to go.

    When you finish climbing Mt. Rushmore, you're exhausted and maybe a bit depressed because the endorphins and excitement of the climb is behind you. You're working full time, AND moving in AND caring for your second job, your chicken enterprise, AND working your third job, KZread, AND caring for two kitties, AND fixing stuff AND....You have good reason to be very very tired. Plus, you struggle with your health issues. I think you're incredible! You achieve so much with the hours of every day. It's kind of miraculous! I pray your sleep is deep and restorative. May Fifi and Grumpy sleep when you sleep so they dont wake you playing. God bless your work, Jeff. ❤

    Don't forget to give thanks. It seems to me this was also a very blessed year for you. You got to work. And we're able to work. You made friends. Your friends were blessed to be able to help you. I can not find work any more. They are afraid I'll hurt myself with my degrading health.

    Could you hatch out some feeder chickens for cash?? Or sell a few older ones? What about letting a couple hens go broody and self hatch their chicks? Moving is hard but staying put would be harder-and you’ve had a ton of helpers. One day you’ll look back on this and laugh; it’s just one moment in time, and your future is looking great. 😁😁😁

    We all ‘gotta pay the bills,’ Jeff. You will eventually get into the rhythm of the new place and balance will return to your ability to produce the videos, you will recoup the devastating loss your business incurred. We know you are grateful for your framily and all the help you have received. Keep the faith and support others where you can, if with nothing else but trying your best to keep us up on all that you can do, not all that you can’t. We need to be uplifting each other in these times.
