Well yes, and again, I am back from one meeting and must run to another, which tells alot about this settled life... at the time one is living rough, it is not at all romantic, in fact, when I say I'd be more healthy, it is because I averaged 145 lbs living hard, and for those who met me at Mudcat gatherings can see, running the theater and such, I am quite a bit more than that... but, knowing what it is to live hungry and cold is not romantic.
But, the mindset is acceptance of this as your life. It is to live without the need to justify yourself to the rest of the world... getting interupted again... latter all
