"One never knows whether the right highway was chosen until the concrete runs out and you find yourself on a dirt path. . .". Your essay says many things about your life VERY WELL, but that statement touched a cord within me the most. I like how you recount what you did and could be doing now. In short, your essay. Is provocative, especially for those of us who are now retired. Rod

Should we be playing cards or Scrabble, drinking tea or scotch? There doesn't seem to be a guide book on this subject.
Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
"We are all products of our environment and the experiences we have accumulated up to this moment." - This is true to an extent since it does color our perceptions which in this case seems to be purple. This is very well written and a most worthy contest contribution. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you for sharing this with me.

It was as much an amble through my consciousness as a story. Thanks for indulging me.
Comment from Jean Lutz
I find some of myself in this well thought out -- or lived -- writing. I am a few years ahead of you -- now age 73 and retired more times than Brett Farve. Do you know that the color purple stands for royalty? Best wishes with your entry.

...and to think, I actually convinced a few people in my lifetime that I was the queen of Canada. Thanks for a great response.
