At age 40+, being half way done -- or almost if I am lucky to live as long as President Ford -- I cannot help wonder what life is really about. Is it the sum of my experiences and so therefore, I should just keep accumulating?
Or is it more about achievements, e.g. what have I done, or what contributions have I made?
At this point, I cannot help, but think it is the latter. And so I am sitting with the thought of what do I want my legacy to be.

Your mom told me she wants your legacy to be grandchildren -- she says she's due!!! I think life is to be a balancing act between finding happiness and finding challenge -- too much of either and you really start to feel out of balance. Legacy is more about packaging, because it seems more concrete (what's more concrete than a motorcade down PA avenue in DC, yet all those who spoke at Ford's funeral cited the personality of the man, almost everytime) but it lacks feel -- happiness balanced in pursuit of limits is something you can feel.
