Normality…

When I was around 49, I turned my life upside down. I suppose it was the proverbial midlife crisis. The conditions were perfect, I can look back now and clearly articulate how and why. I probably could at the time as well, but just not with the clarity I have now.

Today I turned 59, a decade has passed, since my perfect storm. I don’t know that I have any regrets. Sure given a do over I’d do it differently, but then would I be where I am now. At peace.

The changes I made were necessary, but my choices made the journey much harder than it had to be.

It’s easy to look back and chastise yourself for those decisions, but you make them for a reason.  For me it took more chaos to understand the chaos that was already there. Today there is no chaos, there is normality, ultimately that feels like a pretty good place to have landed.
