Page,
 The idea that I find most interesting is "why does the wonder of this life seem to fade to a mediocre grayness as we age?"  I mean I've seen it but I've never been able to wrap my brain around the gray area of anything and thus have a tough time selling anyone else on searching out challenges that just seem to make life harder.  So I appreciate the article and will share it as a challenge to my "people" in hopes that the way you express the challenge to 'live life on purpose' will resonate with them.  Thank you!

1. Where do I want to be in 10, 20, 30 years?
2. How many of the projects that eat up my time are laying groundwork for those goals?  Do some of them need to be 'done' already?
3. What positive stamps of this life that I've been blessed with will be in place at each of those markers?
4. What parts of me need to be molding now in order to accomplish those future goals and am I accepting of the 'heavenly' sandpaper people in my life that will make that so?
