I am grateful to all the wonderful people who have donated such lovely fabric remnants and sewing notions to the charity thrift shop so that I could afford to buy them to make quilts with.
I am grateful for quiet peaceful mornings where I can drink my tea and wake up slowly.

Today I am grateful for:
1) Employees that have been going the extra mile for our customers on a regular basis. We get so many phone calls and emails thanking us for helping them beyond their wildest dreams and that feels great!
2) My health - so many people are sick around me and yet I haven't caught it...yet!
3) That my "To Do" list for the week, was completed yesterday! Now its time to get some extra stuff done in the office today.
Have a great day everyone. No matter what happens remember, the sun will still rise tomorrow for yet another day :)

Thanks Dave, I am considering many things, tonight got the name of a local guy that friends have used to give advice on what is possible, what would work that I can afford,and what would be a waste of money. I plan to call him tomorrow. I can't figure it out with help. You are very kind to take the time to give me your thoughts.

2 ideas, just for "pump primers" and 2 concerns.
You have mentioned a "hill" out front. Rebuilding, it sounds like you would still have an "access grade" issue. Flooding also. If you have serious flooding issues, would it make sense for new or significantly repaired buildings?
Back in the door to door selling days, in a small town ( or maybe village ) in Indiana, I ran onto a guy who had bought a scrap railroad box car, took it apart for all the wood, and then built a small house from it. I think he had had intermittent haelp from one friend. been too long to remember all the details now, but I remember thinking it was pretty nice for one person if you didn't have a lot of stuff.
I could not shrink down this far, but there are people today building small footprint houses in the 100 to 400 square foot neighborhood. I think you can find information about that online. They do things like go to the Y for showers to make that type of living work, I suspect that is not a useful idea, but ...
(with stick built you could deal with roof pitch and snow load however you wanted)
Just a couple of "outside the trailer" thoughts.

Since I feel like I am not grateful, it is more important than ever to focus on what I am grateful for.
My healthy strong body
Plenty of wood to keep me warm this winter
money to buy patching supplies, and ability to fix leaks
Friend that called me this morning and called me out on not taking actions on goals.
Look at pain as a push to change.
Nature is helping me see where I need to improve my life.
Willing to gather information to make changes here to make life easier.
This group helping me be responsible for my well being
Learning that walls of stuff do not make me safe.
change is possible, trying to believe this today
I do feel better writing what I am grateful for. Helped to read all of your posts to remind me, we can be grateful if we choose to. Thanks to all of you
