You have done well in navigating your ‘big big moments of self-reckoning’. It must have helped that in most cases you have been able to plan ahead. Unexpected events (e.g. death of spouse, serious illness, loss of job, financial disaster) are probably harder, although I have been quite fortunate in what I have had to deal with, so far. Open spaces and good weather certainly help one’s thought processes.
