The Buddha says we are supposed to suffer so I must be doing something right

Whew. I knew this motor home was a crazy idea when I bought it and I knew what I was getting into. Still, renovating this monstrous contraption is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. I'm not giving up though. If I can just stick with this painful huge project for a few more months, a few hundred hours, I'll be set up for the rest of my life with an incredible, portable and full time home that will be a wonderful life.
The work on the new thickly insulated wood floor is well under way. I'm insulating all the walls too and relocating the plumbing so it won't freeze. Adding a marine water heater hooked to a water coil in the new wood pellet stove. The design for full time off the grid solar is finished and I'm waiting for the house to sell to have money to implement it. I'll reseal the motor home rubber roof before I add the solar panels. A compost toilet is replacing the original one. My 40' TV will hang from the ceiling. Grandpa’s old rocker will fit nicely where the dinette was to watch movies and to watch the fire in the pellet stove. I'll rock, meditate, and stare out the big front windshield for hours on end.
My hands hurt like hell from arthritis most days, and on some of them I don’t know if I can keep going. I can only work at my cleaning business part time now. I desperately miss my Aikido practice but training now is too painful to even think about. I keep telling myself its time to apply for disability insurance and to close down my business.
The Buddha says we are supposed to suffer, so I must be doing really well.
