You can find some basic info about me in my profile so I won’t repeat it here. I am in the middle years of my life, something which has a unique vantage point in life, looking back and looking forward. Its a reflective period for most of us when we arrive although I am wondering where the time went after I crossed 50 as now I am arriving closer to the end of my decade. Truly if one can slow down in our busy society long enough to reflect on one’s life past and future, it should be done. No use speeding through the rest of one’s life, particularly if one has missed a great deal within the first 50 years like I have. There are many things left unfulfilled, still, that got pushed aside in order to do take care of the expedient. I feel more like a female version of Linus, the character in Sabrina who never had any of the fun but all of the responsibility in life. There is only one difference! I haven’t even touched his tax or income bracket. That is another planet from where I live. One thing that is nice is the empty nest. At first its difficult and I am not sure a mother who loves her children can ever get over miss having them around, but having the time to oneself to pursue things that were not possible before is a reward.
I am now trying my hand at starting an on-line business and all the challenges of learning e-commerce. I also teach English tutoring to a few international students, still help my husband out with his new business and hopefully am going to try to carve some time out to recover most of my vocal range since I am a classically trained singer, one who was deprived by all that responsibility from truly pursuing a fulfilling career in music except for some misc. gigs here and there. I would like to record a music c.d. some day soon.
Naturally at this age, one is going to be more concerned with health than at any other time of life and due to some health problems I am dealing with, I have embarked on a self educational program into the area of alternative health and preventative medicine and the distinct advantages that it is bringing my life which I will no doubt be sharing from time to time here along with spiritual, political and any other newsy current events that might provoke some input into this blog as I do enjoy writing although I don’t consider myself as good at it as my husband. Well I guess that about does it for now. Will add some more if I think of it.
