It’s a launch pad for a daily debrief when days are full, it’s a moment of physical connection and don’t miss the symbolic significance of this simple act. Only recently have I realized that I believe it’s one healthy habit that would be a game changer for most marriages.

They actually take quite a bit of time and my schedule feels maxed out. Although I often wonder how busy I truly am in comparison to everyone else who also feels busy, I struggle to think of an objective way to measure that. The most basic reason I’ve been writing is because I’m really enjoying it.

The simple answer is no. It would be extremely difficult to make a living doing what we’re doing and it’s actually not our goal. In this post I aim to share a better picture of how our family spends our time and energy. I’ll also briefly explore the state of farming in America and why very few people are making a living growing food on small farms, though I understand it is possible.

The business was simple. I posted ads online that I would pick up lawn mowers in any condition for free, the farthest I would drive for them is about 10 minutes. Then I would fix them and sell them for $80-$200 on craigslist and facebook marketplace. It wasn’t about the money, it was mostly fun to take something broken and make it work.

Cities are great at many things, fostering a lifestyle of high productivity is certainly one of them. After living almost 15 years in the suburbs of Denver I would occasionally drive by someone who broke down on the side of the road and think “gee, I wish I had the time to help them.” I’ve realized that this is a lifestyle choice. One that has not come automatically.
