Wow. Healthful organic food is the best. No chemicals. How I dream of living in a quiet, simple place near a lake and surrounded with trees and plants in the middle of the forest. All you could hear are the swaying sound of the leaves, birds and cicadas chirping, the flowing of the water, and your work tools in action. How I wish my husband loves doing what you always do - carpentry, gardening, fishing, cooking simple meals...

Shawn , I built my place mostly alone, landscaped, gardens, orchard, ponds, stoves, water system. Never dreamed my family wouldn't love it or be here. I press on, it's hard but possible, trick is not to get bitter. Deciding to stay or move on alone to another place. But I enjoyed every minute of it, I LOVE it, it has become a part of me. Sometimes I think another place a new start would be great, but the extreme hard work that became a part of me, is also heartbreaking to think of leaving and my dreams not becoming a reality, and age & strength to think about. Every time I think of a new place I think, what could be better than this one. If you saw it you'd laugh. I feel so very very rich in nature. Im praying for you. May God encourage and lift your spirit. You are extremely blessed. Off grid in Oklahoma Mt Momma

Now my second year of Blacksmith hobby, Now 69 age and dearly wish I had the Blacksmith skills they help with tools and hardware as I know your skills would find handy. Great job as a craftsman and believe some of the old drills and such are still useful tools and some of the battery handtool are a great help. Do hope your wife love the cabin as a home also. Thanks for showing

[@marthaadams8326]

I had to laugh at your comment when I thought about how many times our modern tools are useless because the battery is dead. The old ones are so beautiful and not just useful, but a work of art - great for you.

Iron deficiency anaemia diagnosed 5 years ago which now makes me realize I was never that lazy cow I had assumed. Now, I go at the garden, rowing on the river, hiking in the hills and walking the dog with renewed vigour despite how shitty I feel. I now even push myself further in the swimming pool and enjoy the challenges though I'll never, ever, ever be a Shawn James!! Whom amongst us ever could. Huge, huge, huge hugs to Cali. Greetings from Ireland, y'all.

[@Judy.LoveandLightAlways]

Beautifully said, I also had Iron deficiency and like you I would do my 2k walk and just couldn't do my usual 4k walk. Would just want to sleep. Now I force myself also. Some day's I give it a miss but know for my health I will walk the next day. Don't ever let other ignorant Human's comments get to you. I salute and support you. Love Ireland, never been there, a quarter Irish here, Hugs from Australia xx

[@SonLe-mk4sq]

Did your anemia improve? What did you do to make it better?

[@davidr2077]

I also had iron deficiency and became anemic, I understand the lack of energy and fatigue and thought it was age being in mid 50’s. Diagnosed with celiac disease, changed diet and much improved. Maybe something to look into, I had very few other symptoms.

[@thisorthat7626]

Hanora, low iron is tough on the body. When people used cast iron for cooking, the acidic food actually leeched small amounts of iron out of the pan and into the food. You may want to try cooking with cast iron and see if it helps you. Being exhausted is no fun. I hope you have found a way to get more iron in your diet. Blessings.

[@omnipenguinify]

yep I had anemia due to fibroids. All the while I just thought I had a weak constitution, and being a lazy fuck. A couple days of iron supplementation later , I was reborn. Funny how that works...

It’s amazing what you can do with a full production team with consultants. They find a guy that is a jack of all trades. Ever notice he never has troubles with anything. Nothing breaks, nothing burns or over boils, even though he is multitasking all the time. Dog is perfect. Let me guess... he trained the dog himself. I’ll bet he can build canoes, and carve kitchen things and fix clocks, and breed dogs, and on and on. Don’t get me wrong, I love watching but when people find out it’s a full production when they are being led to believe it’s just a guy with all these skills and his dog????
