I love the idea of taking stock in the most objective way possible, and this is sometimes difficult.  All of us are trying to live our lives with purpose, in essence to be someone.  The questions remain.  What do you want to be, for whom are you trying to be this, and what are you willing to do in order to be?  And the of course that final step, what will you do if you actually are what you long to be?  That long look in the mirror should help clarify these for each of us.

Thank you for your continued thoughts, Jane  :)
