In the End

Like most people I have more than my share of things in the works: projects that I’ve started that just don’t seem to get completed. I read an article recently that said the only thing separating people with the most important and meaningful lives from everyone else – they finish what they start. I think that’s why finishing the chicken coop was so important to me. I finished what I started. I didn’t just think “HEY! That’s something I want to do and leave it for another day” I finished it. It did take a considerable amount of time for me to plan out what I wanted. I probably looked at hundreds of chicken coop designs, spent hundreds of “work” hours researching different types of chicks and chicken, studied articles about how to take care of them and I’ve spent endless nights thinking about what this whole thing means to me. And in the end, quite simply, it means – I can finish what I start. Something I wanted to do - I made happen – using my own skill and capabilities.  This is the beginning of my whole way of looking at what's important - now I can plan and finish the next project. 


But for now, I'm going to sit back, look at the coop and think “I did this” “I made this happen and look at the ladies – happy as heck eating bugs off the ground”.
