Looking Back

I am now 57 years old and can't believe how far I have come. I started out my life as a quirky young man fearing the road ahead, but now that I have reached about the halfway point of my life, I realize how successful I am. I have a successful job as a doctor, and still do fun things that I always loved to do, such as singing or playing on the piano in my free time. But most of all, I still have a strong connection with my family, and I am proud of them as they are of me. That is the way I am defining success: as the inner joy and overpowering through the struggles that I had to overcome. A successful life I have led, and hopefully I will be more successful as time continues to slip away as more and more of my hairs turn gray.
