I know my mood now and why.

At 58, I am seeing the culmination of life's plans, even new ones born of the marriage difficulties last year. MY career, our home, our children, and our next move are the results of compounded successes as a COUPLE .

My mood has turned to my legacy. These remodels of this home and the work we both do will be an ephenlmeral pride and then nothing .

Still, I will be able to say to God, "Thanks! I made the most of my time here."
