Dick, I'm delighted that your readers appreciate the concept of midlife re-evaluation as a much more positive opportunity, "Start your Mulling" as you so nicely put it. This idea is so in time with all we are seeing now with Boomers, Encore Careers and such. Of course, with each new season of "mulling" - an autumn occurrence - so to speak, we have the opportunity to continue becoming more of who we are and to adjust. We know that as we age we have the opportunity to become better, better at adjusting, better at coping, better at learning what types of elders we want to be. As you state, much of our aging is up to us.
