From Commodities to
Art Gallery
B. Thompson, Florida
My story started
with a trip to the ER. I was a commodities trader in
Chicago and like everyone else I knew, I worked too hard
and too long, and rarely took a break. My kids (from
both my first and second marriages) had grown and were
off to college, and since I had made plenty of money
over the years, this was supposed to be an easier time
for me and my wife. But one day, I had the big pain in
the chest, and was rushed off to the hospital.
Turns out, it wasn’t
a heart attack, but I did have some arterial problems.
The doctors did their magic and I changed my diet and
started to slow down some. When I did start to take
some time, I realized that I wasn’t enjoying my life and
wondered why I was still working so hard. We had plenty
of money, our health was pretty good, the kids were
doing well, and I didn’t need to push so hard anymore.
