Mid-Life Melancholy

I've been having rather a rough go of it these past few days. Mr Tuneful suggested it may be mid-life.

If you are familiar with the comedian Tim Hawkins, he does a bit about Things You Don't Say to your Wife...I believe the above would be one of them.

So while Mr. Tuneful should be careful to not suggest it; I do believe there is something to this "mid-life". Crisis or not.

What is it anyway? MID-LIFE...Does it mean your life is 1/2 over? Or you aren't young or old? Is it all downhill from here? Why must we feel that we have to "name" every age of our journey?

Growing older has happened so quickly yet seemed to sneak up on me. Perhaps that is why we stop and ponder what is behind and what may lie ahead when we get to this "mid-point".

Call it reflection or a touch of melancholy it is a good time to thank God for all His blessings and to look ahead to what He still has planned for me.

I love that last paragraph to rely on God for what comes next. It is a journey after all and there is SO much to look forward to. Trust me, I know!


Love,
