dear paulina,
i am also on the wrong side of 50 but i feel this is the best time for us, now the dependency from the children on us is reduced considerably and we have more free time to think and i am fortunate to get a computer at my disposal to let loose my thoughts and make friends, it is inspiring to see so many thoughts written some make me sit back and think, some leave me sleepless, so it is an exposure and of course i enjoy this relaxed mode, like and changes are inevitable to the ride is more smoother than it was before..sunkann
