Tad, Why not print your postings off and put them in a box and store them away? Some day, you can take the box down and read the postings and I think, at that time, you'll be surprised to see how far you've traveled.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
