And interestingly familiar to me even though I have just retired after 37 years of working, raising kids, doing home stuff, being married, taking care of my mom. I have that same feeling that I was scooting by own many fronts, and not happy with myself on how I was doing any of them. It is extremely hard for any of us to admit that your mom was right- and you are wise to think about what you want to be thinking about on the porch when you are 80.
