It's difficult to know when the time is right. When we are ready. All of us think we have something waiting for us, something great on the horizon. It's the lottery of life. We believe.
If we were true to ourselves, we might know that this is (as they say) as good as it gets. We have lived our life. The struggle has reached its end.
There isn't anything greater than we have already known. Nothing better than we have done. Our best is behind us - whatever that is. From now until the end, it's just playing out the string.
I have no children. No legacy. It's just me and my cat, and that's the best it will ever be. I have over-stayed my welcome. It's time to make a grand exit.
Now would be good.
