I am 51, and I still have dreams to fulfill, risks to take and yes, <I>schooling</I> I want to complete. I am still in the canoe, and paddling fast. I can't see myself stepping ashore any time soon.

Not that we don't earn our rest, but, the true prize for our work isn't really received until we reach heaven. <BR/><BR/>I used to think that one day I would "arrive." I would conquer my demons and gain so much wisdom via experience as to be beyond reproach. How foolish!
