As I read the things that other people and I wrote that keep us going -- including that "pioneer spirit" -- I realized that the things I named ARE enough! Perhaps it's only our high-speed, materialistic, culture -- so hard on people who don't make big bucks, may have trouble finding work, illness, etc. -- that makes it seem as if a few loving friends or family or dogs or a good book or music or enjoying the breeze or a blue sky or soft rain isn't enough.
