^ It's interesting how perspective can affect happiness. My best friend of 30 years is also early 40's, in fantastic shape, runs iron man, travels the world, and is hugely successful in his career. However, he sees himself as a failure for never getting married and having a family. Over the years, it's manifested into crippling depression. It's hard to talk with him sometimes because the conversation always turns dark. I love him, but I wish he shared your perspective.
