Do you know the value of "a day"? Paradise Lost. Paradise was found. Was the cup 1/2 empty of was it indeed very full? It's in the eye of the beholder.
How often we travel together, as a family-a mass of individuals banded together like cable or wire, or as a pack, so often we forget our owns strengths at times. Each individual angles off, learns, grows, and along their path they find someone that they must travel with, and they grow some more, find a good place and settle in, bring a little person into their world, learn, strengthen and continue their travels. And now this is where our smaller unit tries to aim towards, up the hill.
We have been through so many rough road together, and yet we have been traveling hard to get to the top of this hill, and now we are nearing the peak...we are scared, we have no idea what is on the other side, and yet we used all of this energy to get near the top, so many years of traveling.
So many times I don't tell you but I am already tired, very tired. I don't think at times I can go much further, and then I wonder if it's my intuition.... We differ, 3/4 of my battle has been mental, and 3/4 of yours has been physical, each to gain some territory for the other. Now worse yet I feel how tired you've become, I know you don't think there's much left either, oh the ties that bind us, battered travelers we are, and yet we want more, more time, more adventures, more laughter. A weakened economy, as weak as any we've ever witnessed and more pulls out the rug from under us of that promised land on earth, so we must quickly calculate what did we have, versus what we thought we'd have?
So we looked forward to a time slot at the top of the hill and all the things we'd do when we got to the other side, don't put your eggs in that basket....my dear...it was all of the things we did going up the hill that counted. We were never promised a rose garden, we were given all of those wonderful moments, all of those laughs and smiles, and side excursion enjoyed as we journeyed.
I could live in a cardboard box as long as our group traveled together to cast it's warmth.

Yea, though I travel the valley of doubt, and fear, I need not build a home there. I've long functioned with 'work and plan, as though you will live forever, but pray as if you are on the last breath". Keep in mind your story of "?The Farmers Ass'. Lots of truth in the story, I've been there many times, but moved on and up. So will you and yours, if push comes to shove.
Have no doubt.
