Thanks, Ken. Here at the Dodge Poetry Festival, or "Wordstock" as someone put it, I am amongst folks who love words and above all love trying to say just the right thing in just the right way. Believe it or not, there is a lot of "poetry" in what you just wrote. Keep on keepin'on!

Money can be seductive Ken, and it is so great that you were able to stop, listen to what Ann was asking, and reassess what was most important to you.
I also congratulate you for your early focus and diligence, for I think you were very fortunate to achieve some financial success early on, so that you could more easily have a "been there, done that, now what really counts?" attitude in your growth, and move on. There is no question that financial freedom liberates us, and money is so much a real part of our world we DO have to come to terms with it. We learn it's not everything, however we also learn it's not evil, and can be thought of as an enabler in good ways.
Thank you for sharing your learning with us. I am so excited for you, and for this new chapter you are living!

Steve - thanks for your kind words. I hadn't really considered my words as poetry but I appreciate it.
Rosa - I think Ann is my greatest gift. As you know she is a wonderful soul, full of life and joy and curiosity. I learn more from her than any other source because she is always asking questions. She is never quite satisfied with the status quo and she is always seeking.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this learning forum.
