Midlife Birthday
July 25, 2011It’s my birthday and I’m 45 today. I’ve never had a problem with being my age though I am a little wistful about needing reading glasses now.
What is middle age and how is it supposed to feel? I’m at my peak in many ways and that’s a wonderful feeling. In my teens, I couldn’t imagine what my 40s would be like. Today, I can’t imagine what my 60s will be like. That’s okay because all I really have is this moment. Being present for my life today is what’s important. Feeling grateful for all the loving people around me and the wonderful aspects of life I experience every day is what deserves my focus.
Though my professional life is in transition, I realize I’m in the middle of a good life in many ways. Today I enjoy good health and I’m on a fun trip in Canada away from the heat of a Louisiana summer. This is a great birthday!
