Most of us spend our younger years getting caught up in trying to have it all and do it all. Only after years of marriage and having a family do we begin to recognize what is more important to us. At some point, we begin to shift our priorities, realizing that many of the dreams that we spent chasing in our young adulthood will have to temporarily sit on the back shelf. Going to our children’s and grandchildren’s athletic activities begin to replace the dreams that we once dreamed. It becomes hard to put things in proper perspective. Eventually, we seem to settle into an acceptable, compromised routine that most of our friends and family are comfortable with. We also discover that we are getting older, and time to fulfill dreams and mark things off the bucket list is clicking away too rapidly. Author James A.
