Mid-Life?

I am thinking that this 40s thing is all bunk. I was exited ti turn 40. So much less drama was promising this was supposed to be the decade where I had smooth sailing.

What I wasn’t prepared for was the beginning of the decent.

I am sitting here on my comfy couch cheering on friend around the world as the fight for their lives. My mother too. Cancer has come out in spades. I was somewhat prepared for parental cancers. My Father just won his first battle (rarely is there only one) and my mother just finished radiation and is looking toward medication later this year. But I was not prepared for college friends to start getting cancer and heart problems and spending large amounts of time with medical procedures and tests. We are a few decades too early are we not?

Another friend has posted on her blog if this is mid-life for us. She is not prepared as she has just rewritten her life. I want to rewrite mine just a tweak or two. If this is mid-life am I too late?

Well I don’t want to chance fate but when more divorces start happening I think I’ll feel like it.

(I must give a nod to Stephanie for unintentionally prompting me. Go read her stuff it's better than mine. See ya!)
