[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 313571, member: 324"] Good thread to reflect upon. I'm 50, and although it's never too late to better one's self, I'm pretty happy. I made some major changes a few years back, and I don't miss my "old life" a bit. I haven't had a hangover in years, and that right there, is truly something. 3 years ago, on New Years day, my wife and kids and I landed in Denver, after a couple of weeks in Ethiopia. We returned as a family of four, plus one. My little girl from Ethiopia loves life, and is happy as a clam, with us. At least, it seems so. She's a pure joy. 12 years ago, my wife was fighting colorectal cancer, and if God hasn't blessed my family, I don't know what else to say. 12 years and she is doing just fine. In the meantime, as my kids grow, I feel like I need to focus more on them, for their time with us is passing too quickly for my liking. Next year, my oldest daughter goes to high school. That leaves a bit of a lump in my throat, and a bit of fear as time passes so very rapidly. All in all, my family and I have been blessed. There's no two ways about it. Good health (although we did have COVID go through the house in December) and my wife and I are both still employed at jobs we like. Nice house, good neighbors, lots of good friends, and we still live in good old ND. In short, there are fish to catch, and I'm still able. So, everything is turning up roses... [/QUOTE]
