Well, there are a gizillion blogs out there and somehow you’ve stumbled upon mine…you must be sharing in some of the joys of mid-life womanhood. I say “joys” only partially sarcastically, because I feel this truly is a rich time, emotionally and spiritually. I say “spiritually” only partially sarcastically, because I am not religious but feel this is a time to dig for some higher meaning for being here and going through all of the emotional turmoil and challenges that comes with mid-life. So, what are some of the challenges (ahem…joys )I hope to discuss in this blog?

• Raising children who have the bodies of young adults and the minds and attitudes of (depending upon the day) 5-45-year-olds
• Adjusting to the role reversal that comes with having older parents, where you become the Worrier as opposed to the Worried About
• Maintaining some semblance of an intimate relationship with our significant other while a) Holding down a full-time job b) Raising aforementioned children c) Worrying about our parents d) Taking care of a home so that we cannot be featured on How Clean is Your House

Finding some sort of a life outside of our relationships with all of those other people

Why a “late bloomer’s musings”? If reincarnation is true, I often joke, I am definitely on Life #1 here. I feel that I am just starting to get this “life” thing figured out just recently. And I look forward to using my future musings to explore/discuss/ commiserate with other fabulous mid-lifers!
