I never would have guessed I would have four children—that never crossed my realm of possibilities and here I am. So as I go through this time of contemplation—I know I am in good company. As health and wellness guru of the New York Times Jane E. Brody notes, “Turn your midlife crisis to your own advantage by making it a time for renewal of your body and mind, rather than stand by helplessly and watch them decline.” Enough said.

Somehow mid-life just can't apply to you! You're still just as energetic, ambitious, and capable as you were in your twenties. (Well, maybe you go to bed earlier, nowadays) When I was mothering only two youngsters, I fondly remembered the teaching/professional days, and yearned for the future when the house wasn't a disaster every night and my primary job as that of referee. Maybe I'm just prejudiced, but I just don't see in you the angst-ridden woman I was. I see a can-do, upbeat, in-the-now (not past or future) woman. And who IS in mid-life....me-I'm 67 and still going strong, with no crisis! After all, I'm not having to take care of 4...just me. :-) Cindy Wood
"I CAN DO THAT!!!" I will never, as long as I live, forget the first time you said that! It is a powerful statement and I think it should be your motto! You are a talented, articulate, strong, intelligent woman who can do anything! Go for it, girl!
