JD is right on this. I used to be a workaholic -- just lived to work! I'm not comfortable writing about these things online, so suffice it to say that I went from young-and-super-active to still young, but no more work. Have still not had a vacation since. Can't afford one. Have kept dreaming up ways to "get back in the game" over the years, but life always seems to have other plans -- plans that always seem to push us further away from our dreams.
If you can find a chance to do more important things now, take the chance! Spend time with your family (QUALITY time!!). See sights you want to see. Learn things you've been putting off. Get your heart at peace!
When young, I watched my Dad work himself from a strong, healthy man to a frail shell of his former self, all so he could provide for his family and keep his word to his customers. He didn't know the hoops he'd have to jump through. Almost killed him. When his big break came and he started working at Compaq, he started doing more for him and Mom. Yet even when the mainstream doctors told him he had maybe 6 months to live, he still kept going with all he had. I was with him when he died, and he still had not found his peace. Was the only time in my life I'd ever seen my Dad accept defeat.
Money is a necessary evil, but it cannot give you peace. Peace of mind, yes....but not peace at heart. That you have to do for yourself.

Today's Featured Article - Chores - by Frank Young. The ceaseless passing of time! It is at once our friend and our enemy. It measures our progress and it makes us old. Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint. In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live
