Your writing is so perceptive and your thoughts are so well-stated.<BR/>As a 58 year old woman, I can so identify with so much of what you have to say. It seems as of late that I have been doing more pondering about this "third trimester" (as I call it) of my life.<BR/>Sometimes I look at it with total surprise....could this really be happening to me? Other times I just want everything to stop going by so quickly so that I can take it all in one moment at a time.<BR/>Through this process, I usually end up looking forward to the years ahead with a sense of excitement and clarity as I begin to take advantage of the freedoms that this point in my life affords me.<BR/>It sounds like you, too, share some of those feelings.<BR/>I applaud your honesty and look forward to reading more of your blog in the future.<BR/>Come and visit mine anytime and see how I am dealing with having just become a new Grandmother!<BR/>Fondly,<BR/>GrammieL.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03042991196923675751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15809690.post-40249355989656210452007-02-07T17:34:00.000-05:002007-02-07T17:34:00.000-05:00I'm quite surprised that you read my entry as pred...I'm quite surprised that you read my entry as predicting "a gradual process of decline"--it seems to me that means you didn't really read it.<br /><br />What's exciting to me about this time of life is the new possibilities that open up when we are freed from a lot of expectations. As you'll see an earlier post, I feel "this segment of life is about enjoyment, sharing wisdom, and further integration."<br /><br />Cheers, AnnAnn McNealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06582439307617238027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15809690.post-25082312327381165282007-02-07T14:35:00.000-05:002007-02-07T14:35:00.000-05:00I like to call this the second half of life...basi...I like to call this the second half of life...basically, whatever time is remaining.<br /><br />But I don't see it as a gradual process of decline.
