me & questions i ask

Where does one get inspiration when one reaches middle age? 

First of all, when does middle age start? Is it downhill from hereon or uphill? (gosh, is there a higher hill from here?)

What happens when you fail in that one thing and the only job that you held all your life?

Is it too late to start over?  Or is it the just the perfect time to start all over?

At 48, are you supposed to be more flexible or firm?

Is being a "cool" mom not cool any more when you're over 45?

What if being "myself" actually means being childish?  Is that still acceptable?

Why am I incapable of caring for my children without sounding like a director of a show?

I think my husband is trying to cope with his own midlife crisis and so are his friends...my friends...basically most of the people around us.  

I start to describe my life at the moment and it sounds pathetic without me trying to make it look that way.  Kids all grown and not around the house the whole day, I'm over eating and always too tired to push myself to exercise more...I feel so aimless!
