After three months of home school, I am back! The time I was gone seems to have just flown by. I am now living with my father out on our homestead farm 15 miles out the McCarthy road. One might think that living so far away from everything might be lonely and hard, but honestly I love it! Everyday there is some new obstacle to overcome, or a new battle to fight that always keeps me on my toes. Whether the generator is down, or the garage doors are falling off, we always seem to be able to get back on top. A couple of times the generator broke down, leaving us in complete darkness for hours until the light came back so that we could repair it. I actually thought it was kind of peaceful without the hum of the electricity flowing through the wires in the house. My dad uses back up batteries powered by solar panels to run the internet and computers so that I can do my school work even when everything else fails. Life is simple, and I feel more at home now than I ever have in my life.
The most prominent reason I love living off the grid, is that when I am going home and hit the McCarthy road, it becomes possible for me to just forget all the drama of the real world, enabling me to concentrate on being happy, and completely content with the life that I am living. An important factor to my life at the homestead is that I have been learning how to conserve. We don't get out much, so we have limited resources, causing me to realize that nothing is going to be there forever, and that I should use what I have to my advantage and not let anything go to waste.
Since returning to the homestead, I have felt far more happy about life. I can honestly say that I have no regrets about coming to stay with my dad, and have no reason to leave. I am content, and that in itself I find amazing!
