Whenever I feel that my life is a struggle, I just think of my great-grandmother who married "down" for love (or desire). She married a scrappy, stubborn, philosopher/share-cropper and created and raised 5 children in a dusty one-room shack in East Texas... If she could survive that, what do I have to complain about? She is at the core of my (admittedly mythical) self-identity of a DIY Pioneer Woman.
