Matt,
There isn't a whole lot I can add to what you've gotten here. Mountainman hit the nail squarely on the head, and every one else, has given you something to hold to.
What it is, that you set out to do, will not be easy, or fun. The important journeys of our lives never are. The only thing I can offer, is something the master chief told me once, a long time ago. "You have to take your ration of ...., You do not have to take it home. At the end of the day, leave it in a bag, by the door, and go home".
I often forget that, but when I do remember, life is easier to deal with. When the eternal grind of life touches a nerve, I have come to realize that doing something with, or for, someone else, greatly eases the pain.
May fortune favor you.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
