Feeling kind of blue (non-political)

I probably have had too much time too think with Sandy taking me out of the field to work on beans. My birthday is coming up soon and I am getting very close to 50. The big thing is I feel a great sense of frustration over what I have not accomplished to this point. I guess the exclamation point is that even taking into account the drought the crops are not going to be what I had hoped for this year. We had setbacks the past couple of years with a serious drought last year among other things. I guess I had my hopes too high that this would be a turnaround year this year. Not that things will be terrible but I had hoped this would put me back on the map as maybe picking up more ground. This kind of leads to the next issue that I seem to falling further back of my competitors in this regard. It does not matter that nearly all of them had unusual success with off farm ventures that they were able to use in accelerating their growth. I wish I could get potential landlords to see past the shiney paint and buddy seats to see I am not doing bad all things considered. Last thing bothering me is it has gotten very difficult to find things off farm to supplement my income. It is very much an employer's market here and they do not want to hear about things competing for an employee's time. I've been depending on the farm for a few years now so I have to be upfront with a potential employer as to what I have been doing with my time. I know it sounds like I came on to whine but maybe somebody has some perspective that may be helpful.
