Crisis? Middle aged, hopfully.

Summer is going by so quickly. Which by the way is a very good indication that it has also been very enjoyable. I've had toothaches before and they seem to last forever. Life in general seems to go by quicker each day. I suppose I'm enjoying it more than I realize! What's not to enjoy? I have two wonderful daughters that have never given me any trouble to speak of. One of which has snagged an amazing son-in-law. And the other one is a Damsel in waiting whose heart still belongs to me. My wife gives me more happiness than I deserve and less grief than I earn. It is my family that's the root of my shorter days. I long to have as many of them as possible.
This is the motivation of my middle aged crisis. I'm on an adventure to change my career on the downhill side of my life. I've spent 500 or more hours in the last 9 months persuing that change. Well, I reached my first milestone this week when I passed an exam that certifies me as an IT person. I am excilarated but I won't expose it for fear of jinksing it. There is much more for me to do to be satisfied.

I'm so proud of you! I know you still have a lot to do before you reach your goal, but make sure you celebrate the little milestones along the way! It makes it easier to get through the longer days.

I LOVE YOU!
