You know what, Carey? That was wonderful. It is intriguing that something you feared - your daughter leaving for college - when it actually happened reinvigorated your approach to life. Maybe your love and concern for her on a daily basis prevented you from tending to your own aspirations and fears, and once you did that self-examination, voila! A new Carey, or rather a rediscovery of the pre-PD Carey, but this time one with new goals. Sort of like a rebirth. Excellent post.
