Today, while we were driving  around talking about life, my 
wife said she  kept thinking  of the song  "tightrope" from 
"The Greatest Showman" when she thought of what we're doing 
with life right now. Here are the lyrics:

 Some people long for a life that is simple and planned
 Tied with a ribbon
 Some people won't sail the sea 'cause they're safer on land
 To follow what's written
 But I'd follow you to the great unknown
 Off to a world we call our own

 Hand in my hand
 And we promised to never let go
 We're walking a tightrope
 High in the sky
 We can see the whole world down below
 We're walking a tightrope
 Never sure, never know how far we could fall
 But it's all an adventure
 That comes with a breathtaking view
 Walking a tightrope

 Mountains and valleys, and all that will come in between
 Desert and ocean
 You pulled me in and together we're lost in a dream
 Always in motion
 So I risk it all just to be with you
 And I risk it all for this life we choose 

 Hand in my hand
 And you promised to never let go
 We're walking a tightrope
 High in the sky
 We can see the whole world down below
 We're walking a tightrope
 Never sure, will you catch me if I should fall?
 Well, it's all an adventure
 That comes with a breathtaking view
 Walking a tightrope

That made me laugh a bit.  I suppose I think of myself as a 
judicious sort of person, and I think of my life actions as 
a concensus that the family  comes to jointly. I'm probably 
kidding myself mostly, but I like to think it.
