Crossroads

Today, Microsoft Word asked me a really tough question:



Honestly, I wasn't prepared with an answer.

What is "Normal" anyway?
And how could I possibly foresee the effects of replacing it?

There's a lot at stake here.

I mean... I'm pretty happy with my life. Tracy and the kids are great, right? Yeah, the house needs a lot of work and my job is sometimes a challenge. Wouldn't I be crazy to give all of this up? I should definitely just click "No".

Or perhaps... by clicking "Yes", I would overcome a comfortable but limiting status quo only to soar like a majestic bald(ing) eagle.

I clicked "No".

I knew the question was coming... I just turned 40.
I just didn't expect it from a word processor.
