Yesterday was my 58th birthday. It was a day for reflection as I thought about my past and my future. What have I accomplished? What am I proud of? What do I have left to do? What do I want to do next? How much longer will I live? How much longer will I work? Will I have enough money to live as I want? Will I ever live in Maine? Will I be healthy? How will I die? What legacy will I leave? What memories will I leave for my children and grandchildren? What unfinished business will I leave?

The real question is: How will I live? That is the question that matters. That is the question that I must answer on a daily basis as I make the hundreds of small choices that make up my life.
