This is last and perhaps the most recent Highlight of the past 20 years. We both made it past our 40th birthday without freaking out in some significant way.
While this may seem silly, you and I both know that it is huge.
We have seen a troubling number of our peers hit mid-life and go absolutely nuts. They decide they hate their spouse, they don't want to parent their kids, and they want a new career. The power of this mid-life crisis thing is huge and we, by and large, dodged that bullet.
Granted, I have watched the "hair club for men" commercials a little bit closer. And I know that you sometimes feel the urge to run away from our fighting kids and come back at a date and time to be determined later. But, for the most part, we have climbed "the hill" and have lived to tell.
I'm looking forward to the second half of life being even more rich than the first half. If it features even a portion of the joy, memories, and love that I have been able to share with you in the first half, then I think we're going to be quite satisfied. Quite satisfied indeed.
