Oldfool, I like your answer...."not yet". Sounds like maybe the answer could have been, "not yet, maybe not ever". Your story isn't boring, it's just reality. I wonder if counseling is even worth it. I hope by holding pattern that still means you are enjoying your own life.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. Theodore Roosevelt
