Wow!! That must be an excellent feeling. I'm happy for ya, spicoli...seriously. I only wish I could/would experience the same. I know my priorities changed big-time after our son was born.
Family & friends are #1. Acquiring a bunch of $$$ & 'stuff' is way less important to me than it was 20 yrs ago. It was probably a combo of turning 40 & having a kid...I dunno.
But it sounds like you had a full-fledged enlightening experience. I haven't really. Hopefully, 1 day I will as well.
