Spirit,

Here is the thing that I see...

Yes you are a former MLCer...

But now you are also a LBS...

Which tells me that your journey isn't over yet.

MLC, on either end, I believe, will rock you to your core.

Ok so you need more patience. That is generally something all of us LBS need to learn more of. Patience, patience, and more patience.

Not only with our spouses, but also with ourselves. Especially with ourselves.

I agree that this is some sort of "program" to prepare you for the second half of your life. For all of us.

I know that the second half of mine, in no way resembles the first half. That is something that I am very grateful for.

Still exorcising some demons, but I believe that will probably always be the case. There is always room to do better.

Your vision, is what we all hope for.

Is it naive to hope for that?

I hope not.
